High school student Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna deserves the celebration as she has been excepted to all 8 Ivy League Schools! Amazing! The Elmont High School valedictorian from Long Island, N.Y. has a big decision to make!

Just to make it clear Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale University have all opened a place for her!

Add Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to the pther places that have offered her a place and you can see she is extremely special!

She says her parents, Nigerian immigrants, instilled her strong value of education and she told WABC “Though I was born here in America, I visited Nigeria many times,” and “And I’ve seen that my cousins don’t have the same opportunities that I have. So definitely, whatever I do, I want to make sure that it has an impact on Nigeria.”

She went onto say

“I’ve struggled with numerous classes in the past,” and “But I guess what allowed me to be successful, ultimately, in those classes, at the end, is my persistence and my tenacity.r

She holds a GPA of 101.6 and also gained a recent invitation to the White House Science Fair!

It will be cool to see what school she chooses!
