High school seniors across the country are receiving early decision letters from colleges, some of which contain good news and some of which do not. Jon Favreau ’03, former Director of Speechwriting for President Barack Obama and a Washington Semester Program alumnus, shared in a tweet how rejection from Ivy League schools ultimately worked out in his favor.
Rejected from every Ivy League school where I applied. Went to @holy_cross, and their DC internship program is the only reason I got my first job in politics. https://t.co/lwbuZ1H3AS
