Just read on twitter about the Zach who has a successful startup and didn't get into many colleges.

I don't mean to pile on, but I just read his statement and am not surprised he was not accepted. 

The internet allows for endless knowledge and accelerated growth. Especially for very young very smart people.

But even if you've done a 1M ARR at the age of 19, you're still 19. And no matter your situation, you're missing lots of important pieces.

Agreed. And I’m sure the not so subtle arrogance turned off more than one reviewer.
