Wow! This guy made me proud to be an American. We still are the greatest country on earth.

-- Out of the 21, Lukasz withdrew from 2, and was only denied by 1, MIT.
-- Lukasz was accepted to: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, Georgetown, NYU, Middlebury, Amherst, Occidental, Richmond, Ohio Wesleyan, DePauw, Carnegie Mellon and CUNY HunterH
-- He does not use social networking sites, instant messaging or watch entertainment television. He considers all of it a waste of time. He does, though, watch network news channels.

This gave him full credit towards college and a final count of 45 college credits at the end of it all. BUT according to Harvard rules, they are only accepting 6 of those 45 credits.

Commenting on education in Poland: YES, Polish level of education in mainstream schools is much higher than in English schools ... I know teachers and students from Poland as I work in the school environment. In most cases the only thing that holds Polish students back is the language. Once they overcome that they can get very very far. Most of them have fantastic attitude towards learning.

This is the average polish student here in Poland.

@infidel1978 nar you see the smart Poles go to America where there are less prejudice people and the rats swim to England because put it plainly England always attracts the rats of the world.

The most patriotic Americans are almost always immigrants. They still have a strong work ethic. Native born Americans have gotten soft with entitlements and lost the drive their immigrant ancestors had.
