Tuesday during an interview with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, gun control proponent and Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg said it was “annoying” he has been rejected by all the University of California campuses that he’d submitted college admissions applications for, but he will continue to “change the world.”
TMZ reported Hogg submitted applications to UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UC Irvine.
Hogg said, “It’s not been too great for me and some of the other members in the movement, like Ryan Deitsch. We got rejected from UCLA, I got rejected from UCLA and UCSD, so it’s been kind of annoying having to deal with that, and everything else that’s been going on, but at this point, it’s, you know, we’re changing the world. We’re too busy. Right now it’s too hard to focus on that.”
He continued, “I think there’s a lot of amazing people who don’t get into college, not only that do things like I do, but because their voices just aren’t heard in the tsunami that apply every year to colleges, in such an economic, in such an impacted school system here that we have in America, where people have to go into massive amounts of debt just to go to college and get an education. I think it’s really sad, but it’s the truth.”
He added, “It is, it is absolutely disappointing. But at this point, we’re already changing the world. If colleges want to support us in that, great. If they don’t, it doesn’t matter. We’re still going to change the world.”

How’s he going to graduate skipping school?
Too crazy for California? Hard to believe.
The very nerve of those schools, too have a few standards and act upon them.
Why would someone who already knows everything need to go to school?
Them Duke boys always said never trust a HOGG.Rings true to this day.
Too crazy for California? Hard to believe.
Maybe he is not a bright student? I mean all schools have grade point standards, maybe he is just a C student, not going to get you into anything other then community college. Plus he is a white male, that works against him as well.
I really thought they'd be lining up to get him on campus though. But perhaps they didn't want him walking out of class all the time.

We’re too busy. Right now it’s too hard to focus on that.
Where is this kids parents?
Heh. Fool puppet thinks he’s changing the world. Chortle.
Ha! White boy whine much?!
Hogg can’t even finish high school and he wants elite schools to take him.
I graduated tops with hard work and Hogg thinks he’ll get somewhere with fame?
That’s not how the real world works.
I rather imagine that 0bama will get Columbia, Yale or Harvard to award him a Doctorate without the bother of actually attending. Maybe he will even get a Nobel Prize.
UC schools have very low standards and they are rejecting the piglet.
“The very nerve of those schools, too have a few standards and act upon them.”
I’m sure he dreams at night that he isn’t white and that his 1270 and obviously superior social justice consciousness make him a top pick.
Maybe he can get tips from Rachel Dolezal.

Maybe he can get tips from Rachel Dolezal. Or Elizabeth Warren.
Did he actually finish HS and graduate already, or is he trying to graduate this May-June and get in next year?
Saw Facebook references - as if that is proof of anything! - that he was a 2016 graduate.
First, he’s a white kid. Second, he’s not a California resident. Third, I looked at his SAT and it’s what you’d term average.
His Florida school might still go and claim he’s a ‘A’ average student...I think it’s mostly because they’ve weakened the teaching process enough that the SAT score corrects the value of his education.
I’ll point out one curious thing left out of this story. He’s a Florida resident. If they had accepted him....his yearly tuition with books, meals and dorm...as a out-of-state resident would be near $63,000 a year (UCLA numbers). In-state costs would be $34,000 a year. So, to get a four-year degree....he’d have to come up with $270,000 plus if they had picked him.
Go talk to the majority of kids in Florida and suggest the $270,000 price tag for college. Unless they play basketball or get some scholarship pretending to be an Indonesian citizen...I don’t see them going too far.
He’s counting on leftist “community activists” to bankroll him.
Don’t forget Clock Boy. Trouble is, his dad’s legal strategy flamed out, and he was ordered to pay court costs.
