11. The fact that he dropped out of college after one semester after receiving a presidential scholarship is telling.

My daughter had one to Texas A&M and graduated Summa Cum Laude

She graduated from HS at the top of her class, but didn't qualify for National Merit. (not a good test taker) Presidential scholarship required at least a 3.95 GPA.

So, this guy was "up there", but only went to college for one semester and now four years later, he an apparent electrical apprentice?

Something "went wrong" back then. What has he been doing with himself all of this time?

50% will believe he is ANTIFA, whatever that is. The other 50% will believe he was right wing. Silent Type Sep 12 #2

Unfortunately, this case and truth is not as simple as "flat" vs "round." I think he was just a typical sick incel, with Silent Type Sep 12 #6

And that's your personal opinion. My personal opinion is I'd say it looks pretty damn clear to me. W_HAMILTON Sep 12 #8

Yes, it is. That is how my daughter obtained hers. However, it does require minimum scores on tests. LeftInTX Sep 12 #13
