I heard Harvard has enough to give everybody AID who needs it. The school is worth Billions, money would not have been an issue.

Exactly. Average for Harvard (as well as other top colleges/universities in the nation) is like 2250-2300. I don't know what was so fascinating about this kid that there was a need for an article about him. I'm not hating. This guy is smart, but there are a lot more students out there whom are more impressive but didn't get the recognition.

Considering there's a 99% chance he's going to graduate school. It really doesn't matter that much where he goes to undergrad. Therefore I can't blame him for going somewhere he's more likely to enjoy himself FOR FREE, then racking up loans going to Harvard or Stanford.

It matters where you go to undergrad if it is Harvard. Ever notice the correlation between kids going to ivy league undergrads and also attending ivy league grad schools?

I guess he's just book smarts but lacks major common sense. Good luck being the first in line for a job with that FAMU degree while the next idiot rocks his Harvard or Yale degree straight to the bank

I'm not going to hate on the kid, though, it's his personal choice. I know one thing, Harvard Alum looks better on a resume.
this kid failed. sat scores only matter when ur applying to college, so you might as well make the best of it and go to ivy league if you beast it like that. and a 2140 is a great score.

I'm wondering this as well. Let the kid be happy. He gets a free education, and provided he works his butt off (which I am sure he will if he got into Harvard), he can make some serious connections, get a great job/go to a great grad school, whatever. His life isn't over just because he decided to go to FAMU. Will some of the other schools bring him more attention from employers or grad schools? Yes. But if he's happier at FAMU than the other schools, so be it.
I find it very weird that so many people are calling out this kid for not being extraordinary or up to their standards.

Considering he's going to major in some sort of engineering, he wont have that hard of a time finding a job.

Then again the program I came from in my school is known for placing students in prestigious grad schools and also careers usually associated with Ivy League and top public school grads...myself included.

You guys are dumb. FAMUs pharmacy program is legit. I know an Chinese kid who goes there just for that. A kid who could of got into a lot of colleges but chose to go to FAMU. Just because its an HBCU doesnt mean it doesnt have its bright sides.

And that's not that hard to do when you come from a privleged background, recieve extensive SAT tutoring and are placed into prestigious academic institutions from birth like a large percentage of the kids from your school had the luck to have. You seriously come into every post like this with your nose turned up into the air, mad at anyone who requirements didn't match your own yet achieved something.
And for the record, the kid is a ****** for this.

That's a good SAT score for an under represented minority. I would say its equivalent to an Asian getting 2400, becoming an Eagle scout, 10 AP or 8 IB courses, and two years of JV Tennis.

Yay him for choosing an HBCU
HBCU's are high school 2.0. What an embarrassment.
