The story of him being accepted in yeshiva goes like this :
When Rav Wosner came for the entrance exam, he failed the test and wasn’t accepted. Dejected he went to the beis hamdresh and started learning. After some time Rav Shapiro walked into the beis hamdresh and asked Rav Wosner why he is sitting there learning, to which he responded “I’ve been traveling a few days to come for the test and my soul is thirsty for learning torah. The Rav Shapiro was so impressed that he accepted him on the spot, and as they say, the rest is history
