Now, this is the real whiz-kid (pun intended) of Nigeria.
His name is Harold Ekeh and he’s gotten accepted into 8 Ivy League universities and he’s only 17.
But he just may have a soft spot for Yale, going by what he told CNNMoney, “I am leaning toward Yale. I competed at Yale for Model UN, and I like the passion people at Yale had.”
The smart teen would love to major in neurobiology or chemistry in college after which, he wants to become a doctor and then, a neurosurgeon.
Harold and his parents moved to the United States when he was 8-years-old in order to accomplish their respective goals.
He said: “We had a fairly comfortable life in Nigeria, but they told me we moved to America for the opportunities like the educational opportunities. I am very humbled by this. It’s not just for me, but for my school and community. We can accomplish great things here.”
