Just received an acceptance letter for you first college option? Bravo! Congrats. Sorry to steal the spotlight away from you but 17 year-old, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna took college acceptance to a whole new level.
Augusta, a valedictorian at Elmont Memorial High School in Long Island, was accepted into all eight Ivy League schools that she applied to.
“I am humbled by all of the college acceptance letters that I recently received, I am reminded that I have a responsibility to be a role model for others and use my experiences to encourage and inspire others, especially young women.” Uwamanzu-Nna said in a press release from her school.

What got her accepted into all eight, you ask? Her outstanding GPA of 101.64, duh. She was also accepted into prestigious schools like Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Uwamanzu-Nna will decide on a school by May 1st, and says she wants to focus on biochemistry and environmental studies.
