That Kid Who Got Into All Eight Ivy League Schools?

He’s going to Yale.
Truth be told, I’m a little skeptical of this guy. First of all, who applies to all eight Ivy League schools? Second, who publicizes that they got accepted by all of them? (Apparently he held a press conference to announce his choice.)
And, let’s be honest: His college essay was lame.
“The self-guided journey known as music in my life excites my mind every day. My heart sings every day because the journey is already wonderful.”
Etc.
I guess it’s a PR coup for Yale, but in all honesty—the essay, the applying to eight Ivy League schools, the self-promotion—he feels more like a Harvard kid to me.

Does Yale have a Grammar 101 course?

If he were as capable as all that, he’d be attending CalTech in the fall.
