Top schools want unique. Some of the schools he applied to had 50,000 applicants for 2,500 spots. Unfortunately smart white men are not that unique. State wrestling champions are. To be fair the wrestler is very intelligent. Although his gpa was in the low 90's he scored very high on the sat's. Couple that with over 200 career wins and a state championship he could of went to any ivy or patriot league school.
