Zach Yadearizi, Cal Ai’s high school co-founderset With comments on X After he revealed that from 18 leading colleges he applied, he was rejected by 15.

Yadeegariari said he got a 4.0 GPA and nailed 34 points on his ACT (above 31 was considered a top score). His problem, he sure – as thousands of Commenters in X – his essay.

As the TechCrusch reported in the month, Yadearigi is the CO-Founder of the Virus Ai Calorie-Serching App Cal Ai, which Yadearion has reviewed millions of Revenue Revurring Reverring Revenue Track. While we can’t affirm that income claims, app stores say the app is downloaded over 1 million times with positive reviews.

Cal Ai is actually his second success. He sold his previous Gobing Company company for $ 100,000, he said.

Yadeegarei was not intended to go to college. He and his co-founder have been in a summer of a Hacker House in San Francisco who built their prototype, and he thought he was a classic tech entretout.

But the Hacker House time taught him that if he didn’t go to college, he would come out of a big part of his life to adults. So he chose for more school.

And his essay said.

He posted the whole thing on X. It’s been repeatedly said how he hadn’t planned to go to college and documented his experience making a self coder. He wrote how VCS and mentors reinforce the idea he doesn’t need college.

Until he had an epiphany: “When I reject the collegiate passage, I didn’t glorify myself with a grackout of expectations: instead of teachers looking in a direction I haven’t,” he wrote.

The college can help him “lift the job I have always done” so he now wants to learn from people, not just books and YouTube.

His penultimate paragraph declares, “through college, I will contribute to the greater, giving me the power to leave a more lasting, positive effect on the world.”

Despite the grades, test scores, and real-world achievements, he was rejected by Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Duke, and Cornell, among others. He, however, accepted Georgia Tech, University of Texas, and University of Miami.

However, his tweeting about many rejections are viral, with more than 22 million views, over 2,700 retweets and up 3,600 comments.

Many of the comments that are sinking the essay as “arrogant,” says that is the problem.

Others put college acceptance system as problem (with all the usual criticism there).

Maybe the most meaningful comments the teacher Because colleges seek for candidates as if thirst for education and likely graduate. His essay reads like he was about to convince himself to attend.

Even the Combinator’s Garry Tan weighed in xNot to feedback for Yadebacki, but itself “confess” that he is also widespread rejected and repeatedly the philosophy of College. ‘(Tan, however, entered and attended Stanford.)

Yaderedi told the techcrunch he even mentioned his next steps but was amazed at the response received by his post. “It’s interesting to see a lot of different views, but in the end, I don’t know what’s important I’m leaving.

Yadeegariui also said he knows that business success is not the greatest achievement of his 17-year-old life. A few of them were taken, “I learned that life is not just about financial success,” he said, “It is part of the relationships, and about being a big community.”
