no schools offered him a scholarship based on the clock. that's what i'm saying. sure BO and others rushed to judgement about the genius of it all, and use him as a poster child for science and discovery, and i get that angle, but in the end, no MITs offered him a scholarship and that's because he simply took apart a clock. if he had done more, he would very easiky get a full ride at a cal tech or MIT, etc.
