A New Jersey high school senior has her pick of any Ivy League school, plus Stanford University. Seventeen-year-old Ifeoma White-Thorpe tells WABC that she was accepted into all eight Ivy League colleges and universities, in addition to Stanford.
She described the moment she received her final Ivy League acceptance letter.
‘I was shaking, I was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like this might be eight out of eight and I clicked it and it said “Congratulations” and I was like oh my goodness and then I was like, what did I say?’ Ifeoma said.
White-Thorpe heads the student government and takes Advanced Placement courses at Morris Hills High School. She also won the national Selma speech and essay competition.
She says she wants to study biology and go into global health policy but hasn’t decided which school to attend.
