Go Africa! Afropolitan360 is so excited to share this news.

Kwasi Enin, a 17-year old Ghanaian-American has been accepted into not 2, not 4, but 8 ivy league colleges and universities in America. They include Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth and Columbia.

Kwasi is a senior at William Floyd High School, and is son of immigrant nurses from Ghana. “By applying to all eight, I figured it would better the chances of getting into one”, he said.

He plans to join his parents who are in the medical field. “I’m thinking of being a cardiologist or neurologist. A doctor is a community leader, a protector, someone who people turn to…when they need help” he concluded.

It will interest you to know that the acceptance rate for upcoming freshmen into these schools ranges from 5.9% (Harvard) to 14% (Cornell).

Kwasi has a few months to decide which of the 8 schools he will chose to enroll in.

It is truly an inspiring story. Congratulations Kwasi.
