Could this happen?

You want us to believe MIT accepted a high school freshman based solely on a Cyber Patriot completion, with three years of secondary school remaining and with no comprehensive GPA, or conclusive standardized test scores, or discussion with her GC, or being extensively challenged by an AP/Honors/IB curriculum, and so forth. I’m sorry, but that simply doesn’t pass the laugh test. Now, I don’t doubt some MIT professor or administrator might have commented, “you did a wonderful job in that competition; you’re a natural for MIT, and we’d like to have you attend (or words to that effect),” but a formal, binding admission . . . I’m VERY skeptical.
