I mean, he could've applied for hundreds. Being rejected by 16 doesn't mean anything without context

This does sound like the kind of kid who applies to every school in the country so he can show off how many acceptance letters he gets.

Whatever happened to that guy who said Google fired him because he was white, but then everyone found out it was because he actually just sucked?

Guy who has been using more dogwhistles lately: Mmm yes I agree the left is saying more extreme things.

I looked it up and he didn't actually apply to that many. Mostly just top top elite stem schools that are notoriously hard to get into, then Texas and Maryland for some reason. Those were the only two who accepted him. I bet if he applied to san Jose state he wouldn't have had any issues

lemme guess he applied to only ivies, Berkeley, Stanford and 6 other places that will laugh at you if you apply with less than a 4.0

pretty much every single one of these "teen has successful startup company" stories turns out to be absolute horseshit where there parents actually provided all of the connections, all of the funding, and 99% of the work. it's basically just a big PR campaign for their kid.

hell I remember one in Australia where the kid's parents literally owned a PR firm.

kid should have been denied for unattributed plagiarism of other's work lol.

I was curious:

He was actually rejected from some normal state schools too, but I think a lot of times state schools prioritize residents of the state? I could be wrong though.

The left hates Asians is such a weird thing to say though.

3.97 is nothing nowadays because there is all those Honors/AP classes that inflate GPA scores above 4.0. I knew someone with a 4.2.

Every kid should try applying to the top school as a laugh.

Every state has like 4 other slightly shittier state schools, if you want to go so bad go to one of those.

I’m fairness Software Engineer has never meant Engineer. Engineers like make it so bridges don’t collapse and poo poo, which is why Software Engineers should not be allowed to make autopilot.
