Teen with 4.0 GPA who built the viral Cal AI app was rejected by 15 top universities - TechCrunch

Quick Summary:

Zach Yadegari, the high school teen co-founder of Cal AI, is being hammered with comments on X after he revealed that out of 18 top colleges he applied to, he was rejected by 15.

Yadegari says that he got a 4.

He and his co-founder had already spent a summer at a hacker house in San Francisco building their prototype, and he thought he would become a classic (if not cliche) college-dropout tech entrepreneur.
