This is the fourth time today this has been posted. First by the actual guy who sent the email, next by his friend, again by a random person, and now you have the audacity to post it again, acknowledging it was a redditor, yet somehow thinking they haven't posted it yet? God damn. The things people will do for karma.

Obviously the same person trying to get traffic for the website. I went there, did not work on my iPod.

Karma, it's what's for dinner. Unless this is really just to drive traffic to the site, in which case they are probably eating well tonight.

OP's redditor's friend's response seems youthful.

I think he just got to experience first-hand the reality of business systemization, and saw rule-based policy in action.

"Deliberate choice" isn't really the right term to describe the basis of rejection; at the time of enrollment, he didn't have all necessary pre-requisites completed, despite his outstanding academic record and motivation to create something as successful as politify.com.

Consider it a lesson learned...no reason to be resentful.

Hey Nikita you're an entitled asshole. Quit being an immature bitch and learn to move on. You did not meet the requirements of that class and your request was declined. I'm sending an email to your university about your immature behaviour and attention whoring on the internet.

oooh, that's gotta sting.

[–]konaitor 0 points1 point ago

Almost as sassy as the Assassin Nikita.

Ya, I mean what if she had been accepted? She might have written her thesis paper and then gone on to do nothing with her life. Well never know how bad it might have been. What we do know is the professors denial of her joining the honors program resulted in her having the time and interest and drive to create politify.com. Sounds like the professor made the right decision.

Nice try, Berkeley professor

Good on her!

I wouldn't have been able to contain myself from writing "EAT IT BITCH"
