To be fair, PT has never said that dropping out of college was for everyone. If you take a closer look at the past and current Thiel Fellow, you will notice that they often come from the same top schools (i.e Stanford, Harvard, MIT, CMU, Waterloo). The one that are given the opportunity to receive funding + support from the Thiel Foundation are incredibly smart and will (probably) succeed in whatever endeavour they end up choosing whether or not they get a full college education. As a freshman in college, it is incredibly exciting to know that there is such structure existing.
