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.

Since I did get into Harvard, I'll give my two cents on the essay: https://t.co/eyiYF7axk5
Very high standards from Stanford btw:

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

I read his straggot personal essay and I didn't see a single answer to "how do you expect to benefit out of going to college?", and it also doesn't have a satisfactory answer for "how would the college benefit from you?" Most of the essay is him jerking himself off about how he doesn't NEED college and how successful he is, which of course kind of begs the question on why he's crying on X (he would not make as much money being a chud grifter as he claims he's making).
Also lmao at him thinking that college would be the best four years of his life, only mental rejects would say this and you can easily frick college students and go to parties without actually going to college.
