[@hecticbeatzz5628]

I feel like MIT was just desperately waiting for his application already fully knowing they want him in their institution.

[@edwardspencer9397]

You are right. Everybody wants him. If he had said "No" to MIT, they would have shamelessly chased him and tried every trick in the book to get him to join them. Don't trust these universities. They can do anything to get you. Wait till he graduates and then you will see their dirty games and underhand dealings by all the top companies just to get him to work for them. Sadly he is a normal guy just happy to code but most of them will see him as a money making machine.

[@KappaMan123]

I can imagine the staff at MIT celebrating when they find his application.

[@Artaxerxes.]

They must've been ecstatic. Even MIT doesn't have many genius red coders. But I wonder what the hell the professors can teach him. Its like a monkey trying to teach a human. He's probably beyond them by now

[@KappaMan123]

@@Artaxerxes. I wouldn't compare the MIT professors to monkeys haha. Just remember people just like him teach there.

[@Artaxerxes.]

@@KappaMan123 Yeah but are they red/orange coders. highly unlikely. Red coders really are something you know. They are like the highest rated Chess GMs. Coaching them is just giving them advice. Professors will have a hard time actually getting the better of red coders. I dont really see it happening. William definitely better than them. All they have is experience and even that may not be enough to beat him at a coding challenge

[@moonstaff1234]

@@Artaxerxes. The professors at MIT are working at the very edge of innovation in computer science. And because of that, they'll have knowledge of things that isn't even known by the general public yet. And plenty of IOI gold/silver medalists are going to be at MIT with William so he'll be in good company.

Honestly, this guy can succeed even without college. He's so young yet he is this good, that amazing.

[@nycyabber7103]

University at this level isn't really about becoming successful. It's more about meeting the people with the highest-level of skill in your field and having access to tools to change the world. Just the fact that schools populate entire classes with the smartest people in the world is magic alone.

Yoo! You study cs at berkeley? I am really hoping to apply and get in there next year but I am afraid that I wont stand out us much as other applicants. Any advice??

[@lamihh]

Well you can search for vim plug ins or maybe use something like spacevim which is vim preconfigured for development, or maybe doom emacs or spacemacs.( both of these use vim bindings not emacs bindings). If you want to set up vim by yourself you do it in the vimrc file using a plugin manager kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGrOaqaZl7morLM

[@clydev7512]

@@boink4975 kind of like what william said in his last vid but u should prioritize things besides just academics. grades are so saturated nowadays that having amazing stats doesn't really guarantee or do a whole lot for u. instead u should focus a lot on your essays and extracurriculars to show your individuality and personal story, whatever that may be. also sry for the late ass reply haha

1. You're majoring in CS right? 2. What's your dream company to work at (or what do you want to do after graduation)? You will crush coding interviews. 3. What's your parents background? Since you went to an international school, are they American?

[@tsc7589]

Of all the reaction videos I’ve watched on KZbin about college admission, I’ve come to one conclusion. People who’re crying and screaming to joy or freaking nervous about it.. they dead ass knew they’re not up the that college’s standards. But when they got into it, everything’s bonus. Whereas people who’ve been so skilful and smart, this is their reaction. Maybe just a smile, feeling relieved, that’s it. I’m not saying that you can’t be excited like the rest in life, it’s just that I wished I’m the latter kind of person. Chill and confident. Of course you’ve to be very good in the first place.

[@olinkaromano]

It could also be that people express their emotions differently. It's a big deal, receiving it with a smirk or jumping up and down are both valid ways to react , and say nothing about your ability. :)
