I assume his reason is trite and superfluous because it's a stupid question. When you're a high school senior, all you know about colleges probably boils down to

- General reputation

- About famous people (or family members) that went there

- A brief visit to a few of them that you pick out of a hat

- How much it costs

What kind of non-superflous evidence do you expect him to be able to bring to bear?
