URM + 2400 SAT (36 ACT) = Automatic Acceptance?

<p>“A class of 2008 kid at my school - 2400 SAT Score, 4.0 GPA, Varsity Golf Captain and Varsity Soccer, Asian, and a damn good writer.
He only applied to one safety, which was our State’s university, and the rest were HPY, Stanford, Cornell, etc.
He ended up getting into NONE of them, even our state’s university, so now he’s going to go to community college.”</p>

<p>Wow. That’s an absolutely terrible situation to be in. =[ Rejected everywhere..even your safety. And such impressive stats too!! So horrible. My heart goes out to him.</p>
