  1. Misleading title. It makes it seem as if he can claim $9 million (aggregate of all the offers he received from all schools), which he can't, because he can only accept an offer from one school.

  2. AWESOME.. So proud of him. He will not have to work and go to school like most. He will be able to focus on school and get his doctrine's degree DEBT FREE. Everything he needs will be awarded to him while he is pursuing his education. As a black American in debt from student loans and had to work part time. I am so happy for this young man. He has set an example for others to follow. If you can, invest and purchase a home with some of the money.

  3. Why do you right-sign trols keep using this idit talking point?! Asians dint score anywhere he did. How when he had a 4.98 gpa which accoringto the college board only 1 percent of high school stidnts active each year(missing Asians). He ws also the valedictorian at his school and all valedictorians get first admission to Ivy wages regardless of race. I tired of jealous conservatives clsmong that underperforming Asians and whites are somehow achieving the same as this black scholar when they are not🙄. The where girl who took her affirmative action case of the Supreme Court(Abigail Fisher) e bares Ed the shit out of herself. When the fstcs came out it was relived she was in-the bottom 5 percent her claims had a 0.8 gpa, dint take the SAT scores as the Texas college she wanted to go to required and and she was invoced in no sorts or excel rockers and couldn’t get any academic ,esters of recommendation. So her c,sim she wa rejected for being. White was a total l lie. Same thign witht e underlie font Asian students who sued Harvard inthe New York State court. They all were in the bottom 10 percent of there classes and had low gps.

  4. I was thinking, Jeez, that's a lot. And then I realized a year of college is a LOT, these days. I don't know about the habit of 'stacking' financial aid offers to prove you're a good student, though. People, who 'stack' reality to paint a picture of themselves, think they make up the rules. There is no intrinsic value in applying to 50 schools, just so you can use your calculator. I wish this kid luck. He's doing well. He might consider staying in Louisianna.
