This girl got into all eight Ivy Leagues (plus Stanford), is officially a badass
For many high school seniors, this is a pretty stressful time of year. It’s college acceptance letter time, which means many teens are pretty much perpetually on the edge of their seats. But we just heard that one New Jersey girl was accepted by all eight Ivy League schools (and Stanford), and it’s kind of blowing our minds. No joke, Ifeoma White-Thorpe is a student at Morris Hills High School, and she just pulled off the EGOT equivalent of college acceptance season.
"I got into Harvard early action, so I figured I'll just go there, so then I got into all the others, and I was like, 'Wait, now I don't know where I want to go,'" White-Thorpe told WABC-TV.
Just to recap, Ifeoma got into:
Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton and Stanford.
"I think my love for poetry and writing just really stood out," Ifeoma told WABC-TV.
As far as majors, White-Thorpe has plans to study global health and biology. She told the news station that she targeted these schools in her applications because they have top research facilities.
So the question is, which school will she choose?!
"At this point, none of the schools I've applied to said they'd give merit scholarships, so I'm praying that they give me some more financial aid or some money," she told WABC-TV. "Shout out to all of those schools. Please give me something."
We’re also hoping these schools offer something that helps ease the burden of lofty higher education fees (because student loans are no joke!). In the meantime, sending a HUGE congrats to you, Ifeoma! YOU ARE THE DEFINITION OF #GIRLBOSS!
