Sounds pretty bad ass to me. Damn, nice work. I think it boils down to this: Do you tolerate bullshit or do you proactively stack the deck for personal advantage? In this case you leveraged the hell out of a unique personal quirk and created an opportunity for yourself that wouldn't otherwise exist. To use a poker analogy (Thanks, Tony Hsieh), you picked the table where you knew you could win. You knew you'd do better at the college level and you exploited information asymmetry with both the college administrator and your college-level peers. This is the very essence of how successful people and businesses work. You also showed some moxy and cunning with someone much older and more powerful than you, which is unusual at that age. You thought many moves ahead and won, reaping huge upside. That's 98th percentile at least, man.
