He still had trouble fitting in, even though he was surrounded by people with his same interests. He didn't like the competitive atmosphere of the school or its students either. He failed his courses, but since his sketches were so impressive, his teachers made him sign up for summer school to take remedial classes. Warhol then applied for readmission later that fall.
