(PCM) We can only imagine how proud his parents must be! New York teen Harold Ekeh applied to 13 colleges and has received acceptance letters from every single one. Those colleges include all eight Ivy League colleges, as well as, John Hopkins, MIT and several others.
Ekeh, who is from a Nigerian immigrant family, has a GPA of over 100 and scored 2270 out of 2400 on the SATs. In addition to his school work, Ekeh is also a model U.N. leader, a drummer, a youth choir director and the leader of a mentorship program at his high school. It is truly amazing that he has to time to fit some much into his schedule.
Ekeh currently attends Elmont Memorial High School in Long Island, NY and his school’s principal commends him for being one of the most humble young men he has ever has the pleasure to meet. Ekeh and his family, including three brothers, immigrated to the U.S. from Nigeria when he was just eight years old. He credits his family for giving him such a strong support system over the years for his success.
To celebrate the news of Ekeh’s acceptances the family took a trip to Chipotle! We are guessing nothing says Ivy League acceptance than a delicious burrito and guac!
