A student turned down by Duke University wrote back a snarky letter to the school that has gone viral. CBSN's Meg Oliver and Carter Evans show us what she wrote.
Got rejected from MIT, went to a state school, and currently on my second job at age 26 making $194k salary as an engineer. Where you go to school doesn't matter. Just get the degree and opportunities will present themselves.
Thanks for the advice. I'm currently struggling to get a first class in mechanical engineering. It's better to take life easy. It's not the end of the road.😇
I don't think anyone makes the point that you will earn less if you don't go to MIT, but it is an objective fact that MIT will provide you a lot more connections than most 'mid-tier' universities.
@@jackyhuang6034 my current job “requires” 20 years of experience, which I obviously don’t have. Technical engineers only make between $75k - $200k salary. I make more than the government employees I support that have PhDs. My point is life isn’t fair. More education/going to a prestigious school doesn’t always mean you’ll be more successful in life. Hell you could do a few self-paced programming classes for only a couple thousand dollars and get enough certifications to work at a FAANG company, which pay $180k - $1.2 million/year with no college degree required. I’ll never make that kind of money as an engineer unless I go into management.
@@dennisdegennaro7459 Duke University is a top 20 institution and is higher ranked than some ivys. The ivys are old and have a lot of money, doesn’t mean they are better than other top institutions like Duke.
@@Starlee123The Ivy League schools are a group of eight private universities in the northeastern United States. Here is a list of the Ivy League schools: 1. Harvard University 2. Yale University 3. Princeton University 4. Columbia University 5. Brown University 6. Dartmouth College 7. University of Pennsylvania 8. Cornell University To be considered an Ivy League school, these universities must meet certain criteria, including: 1. Academic Excellence: Ivy League schools are known for their high academic standards and rigorous curriculum. They offer a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs across various disciplines and have renowned faculty members. 2. Selectivity: Ivy League schools have highly competitive admission processes. They typically have low acceptance rates and consider factors such as academic achievements, standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), extracurricular involvement, essays, letters of recommendation, and interviews. 3. Prestige and Reputation: Ivy League schools have a long history of academic excellence and are widely recognized for their prestigious status. They have a strong reputation both nationally and internationally. 4. Endowment: Ivy League schools generally have substantial financial resources and large endowments, which enable them to provide generous financial aid packages and invest in research, facilities, and faculty. 5. Ivy League Conference: The Ivy League schools are also part of an athletic conference, known as the Ivy League Conference, which emphasizes the importance of academics and a well-rounded student experience. It's important to note that while these criteria define the Ivy League schools, there are many other excellent universities that offer high-quality education and opportunities outside of the Ivy League network.
Got asked to write why college was important in HS and proceeded to write my entire paper about how college is largely pointless, wasn't going to help me, and keeps our society under a glass ceiling whilst wasting our time and resources. I aced it. Still had to attend college but I was absolutely right as a young person.
Not a collage but I just got rejected from Milton hurshey. I needed it, I genuinely needed it. No other school could help me. And now my chances are gone, I’m 15 and they reject anyone 16 up. I’m ruined. This was my only chance. Now it’s gone.
I got rejected from one of the biggest universities because I got F MiNUS on my final exam and D MINUS on all my tests. So sad, I then went to China buffets all you can eat university, they accepted as a dishwasher major.
Must really suck if you really wanted to go to that school and be rejected. I only ever applied for one university after graduation. Took the exam and accepted. But I had to apply for another school due to an opportunity for scholarship. Took the exam there and passed. Finished my degree there. I wasn't like the others who applied for a lot of universities.
It's good that they send acceptance and "we regret to inform you" letters. That way you know. Some parents like to hide the acceptance letters so their kids will never go away.
According to her LinkedIn, looks like she's done alright. University of South Carolina for an undergrad in biology. Now, she's a medical student at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which is well known.
This is like taking an exam and writing how it won't be beneficial for you in the future, then turning it in for the teacher to mark.

@Gdsthung Bruh why UC's running for money, they are a fricking public school. They lowkey take in more out of state students just for money.

If I got a rejection letter to a college I was more than qualified for, I’d send one of my own, one showing them what they really treat us like.
Just came here after the Harvard rejection letter , honestly I hope to see more of these videos .
Unfortunately, she has a mistake in her first sentence.
I hope that girl would be doing great now!
I wish her a bright future ahead.

I don’t know what is
No u
Wonder if she actually made it to school
She literally sent a roast to a university!

I didn’t get fired, I quit!
"Probably won't get her in the school."

Love it
When life throws you lemons throw them back at it.
Love it!!!
Uno reverse
Lots of passive-aggresive vives on that letter
The writing and conclusion of the letter are asinine too. No wonder the applicant was rejected 😂
She would make a great lawyer
I would have let her in after this. Creative and funny! She's won
i am not kidding when i say that i thought the title said “Student gets rejected from art school”
This girl is a mad lad
If only the people who actually could afford college would apply you'd see the price come down considerably and nobody would be rejected....
