Kyle Kashuv has lost his entry to the Ivy League.

Kyle Kashuv is a survivor of the Parkland shooting incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that happened in February of last year. After initially being accepted to Harvard University, the Ivy League has rescinded its admission to Kashuv over racist comments he made months before the massacre.

Kashuv became the target of online criticism last month when images of a shared studied guide were posted on Twitter, showing the student using the N-word.

Kashuv posted an apology, saying he was embarrassed by the comments he made. He said he was 16 at the time he made the comments and only did so in an attempt to be as extreme and shocking as possible. Kashuv says he has since made drastic changes as a person.

He was a junior at Stoneman Douglas High School last year when a gunman opened fire, leaving 17 students and staff dead and 17 more injured. This became the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, even surpassing that of Columbine High School, which left 13 people dead.

Kashuv distinguished himself from many other classmates when he began advocating for gun rights instead of rallying for stricter gun control laws, as many of them are.

He submitted a written apology to Harvard after the university asked him to explain the comments he made. He says he then received a letter from the Admissions Dean saying his acceptance had been revoked.

Harvard declined to respond on the matter, saying that the the school does not comment publicly on the admission of individual applicants.
