I haven't seen a source mentioning his test scores. His resume if full of activism, such as working on presidential campaigns, etc. Heck, he even says that he undertook 'unapologetic activism.' There are lots of kids out there who participate in political campaigns of one kind or another. But, as one of the twitter commenters said, do you think that if he had written 'America First' 100 times it would have had the same result, all other things being equal?!?! I'm not a betting person, but I'm willing to bet the answer is no.

And as corporatetiger pointed out, he was accepted into two Ivy League schools without that stupid essay. It seems like a kid just trolling the system, pushing and testing its limits.

But by all means, let's be outraged about some unproveable hypothetical. I'M SO UPSET!!!!!
