Only in modern times, would an 18 year old kid, who runs an 8 figure company, who employs 15 people, and made an app to combat the number 1 health crisis of his nation would be lectured by a twitch streaming only fans girl because she got into Harvard and he didn't.

The woman in question (I think)
This guy is smart, will be successful, and I wish him the best of luck, but I wish more people who go viral for getting rejected from top colleges would post their personal statement because it becomes immediately obvious why they were rejected.

Whenever I see students with good grades but lots of college rejections, my first thought is a bad personal essay. As predicted, this guy's essay was kind of a disaster.

This is the college admissions "crisis" in a nutshell. A million people with good grades that think they're Steve Jobs write the worst admissions essays ever and are surprised Harvard said no. https://t.co/TUVjRBOfXs
