Lauren Cargill - Teen gets accepted into all 8 Ivy League Schools

Summary: New Jersey teen, Ifeoma White-Thorpe was accepted into all 8 Ivy League schools. She said she was shaking when she got the last acceptance letter. In addition, she was also accepted to Stanford. She is a senior and student president at Morris Hills High School in Rockaway, New Jersey. The is faced with the task of choosing between Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Dartmouth and Brown. She wanted to study biology and decided to apply to all the schools because they had good facilities. Only a handful of students have been accepted to all of the Ivy's. The question is where will she go?

Analysis: This blows my mind. It is super hard to get into one Ivy League, much less all of them. I can only imagine how hard she must have worked in high school to achieve this goal. This could relate to the other students who have managed to get in to all of them, including Kelly Hyles and Kwasi Enin.
