Nigerian student was accepted into all 8 Ivy League schools


Nigerian high school senior Harold Ekeh, 17, who came to the US with his parents when he was just eight, has been accepted into not one, but 8 Ivy League universities. Now, he's trying to decide which one to go. He actually got into all 13 schools he applied to, including MIT and Johns Hopkins.
"I am leaning toward Yale. I competed at Yale for Model UN, and I like the passion people at Yale had." he told CNNMoney
Harold says he wants to major in neurobiology or chemistry in college and later become doctor and, ultimately, a neurosurgeon. He was named a 2015 Intel Science Talent Search semifinalist earlier this year for his research on how the acid DHA can slow Alzheimer's.
