I'm a CS major and he's right that most CS undergrad is shit you can teach yourself.

The education system is behind in CS.

Everything else in the letter is just RADICAL FREEDOM, FUCK YEAH! Which is fine I guess.

i agree. you can add awful writer to the list, and an ingrate
>never went to class
>professors never inspired me

It's worthwhile to mention that UMD doesn't have a valedictorian.

why not just get the degree and then go into your start up shit? what an absolute dumbass

>valedictorian of a university

lol, wat. there are probably hundreds of kids with 4.0s

Typically Ivys and small schools do that. Not based off grades, I think some schools there is no GPA requirement. It's just based on "based on the strength, breadth, depth and rigor of their academic achievements, as well as on evidence of their intellectual promise, character and achievement outside the classroom."

It's typically liberal arts majors who get it, typically used to virtue signal by the administration. Something like an illegal getting it or someone who went to some third world country and studied cave drawings.

Kid doesn't even have a 4.0, he had a 3.9.

Honestly, he's having a mental breakdown.

>supposed to be a semi intelligent board
>can't even identify a false story

Welcome to the internet, kids.

Holy fucking tl;dr

>You just need confidence and empathy, that's it!
>There's only love and anger, that's it!
>People are either friends or enemies, that's it!
>Be happy, no fear!

This kind of simplistic worldview is either naivety or drug induced, possibly both

I mean he may be lying but I think this happened. Or he's just trolling.
