He doesn't get in to Stanford, because his high school counselor sent in the wrong transcript. He is heartbroken, but his girlfriend is able to call in the director of Stanford for an interview at Sean's home. The interview is a disaster.

Mr. Burke: Shaun! I read your story. You used a lot of big words. Great! Good for you! It was a little long, so I didn't read the whole thing, but who cares 'cause I gave you an A.
