<p>Faline2: I am sure everyone knows someone who was rejected at one school, but accepted at another. First hand, I know this boy - got a 1550 on his SATs, 5's on every AP test (but never took an AP class because his school did not offer them), straight As, graduated No. 1 out of 500; applied to UVa - got rejected but got accepted to Harvard. By the way, he did play 2 sports, but really did nothing unusual nor did he have any hook. I was just puzzled why he got rejected from UVa (instate resident to boot!) but got into Harvard. I guess that is a good example of how someone with almost perfect scores can get rejected....anywhere!</p>
