Watch: The moment teenage Mark Zuckerberg got accepted into Harvard
“Yay, I got accepted,” was what the teen Mark Zuckerberg said after learning he got into the prestigious university Harvard.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on May 18 shared a video, shot by his dad, on social media showing the moment he found he got accepted into Harvard.
“My dad took this video when I got accepted to Harvard. Next week I'm going back for commencement to get my degree,” the 33-year-old Zuckerberg wrote in his post.
Mr. Zuckerberg enrolled in Harvard College in 2002 as a member of the class of 2006.
However, later after two years he dropped out of the elite university and moved to Silicon Valley to devote his full time to a social media website he developed during his college days—that evolved into Facebook.
Mr. Zuckerberg is now said to be the fifth richest person in the world with Facebook worth an estimated $58.6 billion.
