==Stanford University admission campaign==
MacNiven first received attention in 1998 when, while a senior at Woodside High School in Woodside, California, he launched a political-style campaign to supplement his application to Stanford University, where he had wanted to go since the seventh grade.〔“(Stanford says no to Tyler MacNiven, but he's upbeat, may reapply later ).” ''The Almanac'', December 23, 1998.〕 After turning in his early admission application, MacNiven held a press conference in front of Stanford's Bowman Alumni House. For the rest of the week, MacNiven and his volunteer staff of friends and family wore sandwich boards and passed out "Tyler MacNiven for Stanford Student" leaflets after school, among other traditional campaign activities.〔Oxfeld, Jesse. “(They'll Try Anything ).” ''Stanford Magazine'', April/May, 1999.〕 MacNiven said, "There's so many outstanding people applying to Stanford these days that I actually want to be `out standing' in front of them, to show them that I really do have a passion to go there."〔Delevett, Peter. “(High school senior `runs' for Stanford ).” ''Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal'', November 13, 1998.〕 Despite having a 4.05 grade point average, playing singles for the varsity tennis team and being student body president at his high school,〔“(Our Town: Around Town ).” ''Palo Alto Weekly'', March 24, 1999.〕 MacNiven was rejected. He said, "My goal was to make every possible effort, leaving no options untested. That's what the campaign was really about." He was told by the admissions officer that he was noticed and that his campaign was not detrimental.〔
MacNiven graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in politics, completing semesters abroad in Hungary and on a Semester at Sea.〔“(BJ & Tyler ).” CBS.com.〕 He claims to have been the last student of Tom Lehrer.〔http://www.buckswoodside.com/stories/tomlehrer.shtml Tom Lehrer's Last Class〕 During a short internship in South Africa, he produced the promotional video for his host NGO.〔Serota, K.C. “(Work and Travel ).” ''I'REEE Times'', Volume 2, Issue 2, December 2002.〕
