Derek Onserio is a senior at Providence Academy in Plymouth and he has been accepted to eight Ivy Laegue schools.

W O R D

All of his four siblings alos attend Ivy League schools so Mom and Pops are sure doing something right. Oh, and he is the son of Kenyan immigrants.

On college decision day he was nervous, he tried to put it into the back of his mind and decided to check later as he watched the Minnesota Timberwolves play the Los Angeles Lakers on March 30.

At 10:30 p.m. to check his computer. Prepared for bad news he opened each Ivy League school website one by one….

One by one he discovered he was accepted!

Yale, Columbia, Harvard, Brown, Princeton, Cornell, the University of Pennsylvania and Dartmouth.

“I could barely believe it,” he said. “Was it a mistake?”

Just to mess with his parents he told them he didn;t get into any of the schools but he couldn’t hold in the joke and eventually told them the truth!

He decided to put his high school acting skills to work and tell his parents that he didn’t get into any of the schools he applied to. But Onserio couldn’t contain his excitement and quickly told them the truth.

I guess after the upset it was no surprise that his Dad didn’t at first believe the opposite!
