Ask HN: I got rejected by all the US colleges I applied to. Now what?

- I got a low ACT score (28). Took the test only once.

- I applied to all the Ivy’s plus half a dozen other private undergraduate colleges. Got rejected from all.

- I assumed my ‘other’ credentials will make up for my low ACT score. I guess i was wrong.

- I scored straight A’s in my A Levels.

- I co-founded a company that has been successfully running for 3+ years now.

- I play a very popular sport at the state level.

- I expected to at least get into Babson (for its entrepreneurship program). But nope.

- Not an expert yet, but i can code (python, javascript).

On the plus side, i have saved 100,000+ USD that i can use as seed capital if i launch my company.
