Behold Harold Ekeh, the Nigerian Student With 8 Ivy League Offers!





Nigerian high school senior Harold Ekeh, 17, moved to the US with his parents at 8, has been accepted into not one, but 8 Ivy League universities. Now, he has 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. 
Congrats! Hope he chooses right and of course he has the support of Nigerians.
