Good story.

“ Incredibly, the young man has now been accepted to 12 colleges “

I wouldn’t say “incredibly” sounds like the kid worked hard for it.

Yes, and depending on who you are and what colleges you apply to getting into 12 isn’t that hard. I went five for six—missed on Harvard, thank God. Best thing Harvard could have done for me. They’re too cocky and they can’t play hockey.

If I’d added Yale, Stanford, and Chicago to my application list, I’m sure my percentage would have ended up looking even worse than it did.

I’m guessing that if this guy had tried, affirmative action would have put him in a black studies program at a more “prestigious” school. I hope a full-ride at OSU ends up being a good fit.

So how’d it all work out with that negative outlook you appear to harbor ?

As an alumnus and parent to two alumni I can vouch for the fact that at The OSU one can study and probably major in just about any subject the imagination can conjure. It's 65 thousands students in what amounts to a collegiate Swiss Clockwork. I think it still may be the only university in the US with a degree in Geodetic Science (mapping and earth/planetary surveying).

My daughter graduated in 2018 Magna Cum Laude in Aeronautical Engineering with over 12,000 fellow graduates. Everyone received their actual diplomas in a nearly full (parents, and such) 105,000 seat stadium in a ceremony that lasted just over two hours. This kid's choice of major, as if the rest of his story didn't confirm it already, shows he has his head on very straight and will probably excel.

They’re too cocky and they can’t play hockey.

They recruited my nephew who was an all state defenseman....All my nephew wanted was to play, not sit the bench the first year so he turned them down and went to Williams College in Massachusetts
