Long ago, there existed 8 Ivy League institutions. Harvard. Yale. Princeton. UPenn. Columbia. Cornell. Dartmouth. Brown. Each institution was reigned upon by the Ivy League, a set of eight godly entities of the most powerful degree, devoted to keeping the League alive. Without these eight, there may as well be no school system at all.

Every Ivy Day, there are global celebrations to lift up these collegiate heroes, and the contributions they've made to humanity–gods of a modern time.

The year is 3326. In the present day, college prestige at the Ivy level really doesn't mean anything to anybody anymore. The League has been long forgotten. They may as well be state schools as far anyone is concerned. No one's seen any of them for hundreds of years, as they've all gone into hiding.

As for the present day? 17-year old Arthur Todd Clemont (nicknamed A2C, at school) will be applying to colleges next year. One day, he stumbles across an ancient rune site called Reddit, where he's discovered the old A2C tablets, unveiling the truth of the college system as it once was.

His mission? To bring all of the Ivies back together, and to restore their godly order to the world. But it won't be an easy task–he's got to sort through their emotional baggage with each other, and the powers of those that don't want their institutions reinforced.

I am so sorry to hear this because I know it's gotta be painful. They are all missing out on a talented individual, and I know for a fact that the school that will get you is so lucky to have you.

Have a nice day!

I know I'm late to reply but this does make it feel better. The college I go to won't define me and I will lead a happy and impactful life

Very sorry to hear this news. Those four schools are missing out on a wonderful person, and I know the school that will get you in the end is so lucky.

Have a nice day!

It’s not embarrassing. It is common. Most people rejected. Only three percent accepted.
