Prince George's County Student Accepted to 14 Colleges A talented high school student in Prince George's County has a big decision to make soon -- she was accepted to 14 colleges and universities, including Harvard, Princeton and Stanford. Olawunmi Akinlemibola, a senior at DuVal High School in Lanham, Maryland, was accepted to Ivy League schools, the University of Maryland and several other institutions. The 18-year-old has a 4.15 GPA and already has earned college credit. She works hard for her success, her guidance counselor, Stacy Kline, said. "I'm just amazed by her," she said. "It's the internal drive that she has." Akinlemibola said her family's support is key. She lives with her father, but her mother and two sisters are home in Nigeria, where she was born. In a recent interview, she began to cry as she spoke about her mother. "Even though she's not here physically, she takes care of me. Emotionally, she provides a lot of support," the student said. She hopes her family will be reunited this year. Akinlemibola said part of what drives her to succeed is a sense that she has opportunities her parents didn't have. "They’ve just gone through so much, and it's like, this is like the least I can do, is do well in school," she said. Here's where Akinlemibola was accepted, according to WTOP: Emory University Brown University University of Maryland, Baltimore County University of Maryland, College Park Swarthmore College Grinnell College Amherst College University of Chicago Duke University Stanford University Cornell University Princeton University Harvard University University of Pennsylvania Akinlemibola said Stanford is the front-runner. She would study biology and, with scholarships, pay just $300 per year in tuition.

Super smart Omoluabi girl! Some idiats don't know top schools in the USA...lol, they are hating on this girl's achievements because ....**cough cough* she isn't from their tribe of drug barons and "baby manufacturers". ![]() I suggest they check the list of top schools in the USA to cure them of their hate - even though I doubt they will change, because they are born and trained to hate Omoluabis. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities 91 Likes 3 Shares |

igbofocus: You are trying to belittle a young girl whose achievements are remarkable enough to be carried by a major news outlet like NBC whereas your own degree is probably worth less than the paper it was written on. 72 Likes 3 Shares |

1Rebel: Cornell, Duke, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard are mushroom schools? Are you aware that the standards there are so high that if an Igbo man drops out of any of them, the elders in Igboland would confer him with a chieftaincy title? I don't think you're Igbo, Ndigbo aren't this daft. 132 Likes 4 Shares |
