I think the average American today, including the average admissions officer, has a negative view of technology. So, an application that is unequivocally optimistic about technology is unlikely to be well received. I think that that is what happened here. We also have no visibility into letters of recommendation, which are likely a big factor.
- bfeynman 1y agoThis is an incredibly poor take - curious as to how you just completely made up that ridiculous claim? Ironic as well that you think letters of recommendation matter for college admissions when they are perfunctory for probably > 95% of them. Maybe you shouldn't espouse your opinions on this.

I’m also quite sure letters matter for undergraduate admissions. They certainly do at the graduate level.
