📰 Hacker News · sloka

- I got a low ACT score (28). Took the test only once. - I applied to all the Ivy’s plus half a dozen other private undergraduate colleges. Got rejected from all. - I assumed my ‘other’ credentials will make up for my low ACT score. I guess i was wrong. - I scored straight A’s in my A Levels. - I co-founded a company that has been successfully running for 3+ years now. - I play a very popular sport at the state level. - I expected to at least get into Babson (for its entrepreneurship program). But nope. - Not an expert yet, but i can code (python, javascript). On the plus side, i have saved 100,000+ USD that i can use as seed capital if i launch my company.
