OK - it says that he wasn't accepted because he didn't have the required 60 college credits. Now I don't get this. Didn't he know that he didn't have enough credits? What was he thinking? Were they supposed to bend the rules for him? Didn't he know before how many credits he had?
Why would someone make a whole big commotion like this?
