The flip side of getting bummed out about negative admission stories is when stuff like this happens:

How hard did @Ben_Edwards_ work to get accepted to #Stanford? He retook the SAT/ACT a combined 7 or 8 times.

I gotta say, while I'm certainly proud of our admissions standards and think we should make sure student athletes are taking rigorous coursework to prepare themselves for Stanford, I think having students retake the SAT/ACT multiple times is a waste of everyone's time. Getting a higher SAT score after a month of "test prep" does not mean you are any smarter or better informed.
