Just getting into one ivy league is a task, but Kwasi Enin was able to defeat the odds literally : he was accepted to all 8 prestigious universities.

About Kwasi Enin

Kwasi Enin, a student at William Floyd High School in Mastic Beach, N.Y., received acceptance letters from Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale.

Enin scored 2,250 on his SATs, putting him in the 99th percentile.  Even though doing extremely expectational on the test, the Long Island teen said he wasn’t banking on getting into all eight prestigious universities.

Ivy League dreams come true

“By applying to all eight, I figured it would better the chances of getting into one,” he told the New York Daily News.

Enin, a first-generation American whose parents emigrated from Ghana, told the newspaper that he’d like to be a physician, possibly a cardiologist or neurologist.

So where will this inspiring teen end up? Enin told Newsday he’s seriously looking into Yale.

They seem to embody all the kinds of things I want in a college,” he said. “The family. The wonderful education. The amazing diverse students. Financial aid as well.”
