Doubt someone just offered has started an App they probably just got 

On line classes for AP very possible

You would know better than I would, but I would think that this is probably flipped.  I doubt someone would be offered this late in the cycle unless they had done some work in the background to make admissions a possibility.

Hilinski had some unusual circumstances.  His brother's suicide was in January; I imagine the prospect of going through college recruitment at that time might have been overwhelming, and it sounds like he made a commitment not long after.  It would be entirely understandable if he decided to stick to South Carolina; on the other hand, it's quite a credit to him that he has continued to do the work to be in a position to land a Stanford offer, given the circumstances.
