A Nigerian teenage girl in New Jersey, Ifeoma White-Thorpe has been given admission to 8 Ivy League insititions at the same time.
Excited Ifeoma White-Thorpe said she couldn’t believe it when she heard back from all eight Ivy League schools, including Stanford University and they all accepted her at the same time.
Speaking on what stands her out, she said she believes that her love of poetry and writing helped her stand out. Ifeoma has once won the national Selma Speech and Essay competition in 2015, and also has stellar Advanced Placement class grades. She serves as her school’s student government president.
She is now lost between which of the eight school she will actually attend? “I got into Harvard early action, so I figured I’ll just go there, so then I got into all the others and I was like, wait, now I don’t know where I want to go,” she said.
