Matt Groening

The creator of The Simpsons is a member of the Rejected-From-Harvard Club too, according to a magazine published by two Harvard alums. Groening ended up attending The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington from 1972 to 1977, which he described as "a hippie college, with no grades or required classes, which drew every weirdo in the Northwest."

So, instead he partnered with his junior high school friend to make ice cream. The rest is one delicious history.
