Einstein Failed his University Entrance Exam
In 1895, at the age of 16, Albert Einstein applied for early admission into the prestigious Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich Switzerland. He passed the Math and Science sections of the entrance exam, but failed the non-science subjects (history, languages, geography, etc.)!Einstein had to go to a trade school before he retook the exam and was finally admitted to the academy a year later.
