And that's what happened with X user Amal.

Amal took to the microblogging platform to post a picture of his rejection letter from Stanford University. In the caption of the post, he wrote, "I got rejected by @stanford today (I'm still gonna change the world though)."

Check out how people reacted:

An individual wrote, "I got rejected by Stanford in 2013 for the class of 2017. I dropped out of my safety school and joined a fast-growing tech company. In 2016, I spent a day at Stanford doing campus interviews for the class of 2017- the same students who were picked over me for admission."

A second said, "Home Depot rejected me three times before they approved my products on their shelves. Just keep pushing. You'll make it!"

"Keep running, Amal! It opens doors for the first few jobs, but the degree becomes irrelevant as people gain real experience and sort themselves by output. Also, all of the knowledge you expected to gain is still available to you," commented a third.

A fourth added, "Don't let a decision by a group of people who had limited information determine how you feel about yourself. I wish you the best of luck."

A fifth shared,"Rejection is redirection - you’ll do amazing things regardless of where you find yourself."
