Not everyone gets the opportunity to attend
college, much less any Ivy League school they want. But that’s exactly the case
for New Jersey high school senior Ifeoma White-Thorpe.
The Morris Hills High School AP student and student government president applied to all eight Ivy League schools: Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
UPenn, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth and Princeton. She also applied to Stanford,
another top-tier school. She was accepted to all nine.
The only
predicament she faces now is which school to go to ― a decision that comes down
to what the schools have to offer White-Thorpe financially.
“At this point none of the schools I’ve
applied to said they give merit scholarships,” she told ABC7 Eyewitness News. “So I’m praying that they
give me some more financial aid or some money ― shout out to all of those
schools; please give me something.”
Although
White-Thorpe is skilled in writing and poetry, she plans to study global health and biology,
according to The Associated Press.
