On: Before They Were Successful, These People Were Rejected

[aptimpropriety]

It's not over. I got rejected from nearly everywhere I applied as a freshman, then transferred to Cornell as a Sophomore where I'm now a very happy junior. Looking back I'm actually very glad I transferred as opposed to entering as a freshman. I've instead taken so much more advantage of opportunities compared to where I went my freshman year (UCLA) after essentially getting to 'restart'.

I did get into UCLA though. I am going to be hearing from Berkeley tomorrow, but I think I'll go to UCLA. I really, really like Los Angeles, and know a lot of security hackers there.

Heh, I also transferred, but Cornell was the only school that didn't accept my transfer application.
