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. This is an educational resource. https://t.co/GpgPRMj7mR

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
