[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a question for the OP. I can tell why this kid didn't get into the schools he/she wanted. Can you?

How about this kid? This is the AI start up kid who was in the news for all his rejections. I too was surprised until I read his personal statement and then it totally made sense.

Honest question what is wrong with his statement? He’s 17. He’s writing about why he changed his mind about wanting to go to college. He’s talking about self reflection, self learning and interacting with different types of people. [/quote]

No college wants to be a brag bullet on the next Zuckerberg's profile. "Dropped out of XYZ to run their third VC funded startup"

No upside for the university. The whole world knows this kid was successful and the they didn't get anything out of being there. Better to give a seat to someone who actually needs college[/quote]
