High school senior Harold Ekeh didn't just get into one Ivy League university. He was accepted into all eight.

Dude moved from Nigeria to America (Long Island of all places) when he was 8.  Now he's been accepted into all 8 Ivy League schools.

This man has ambition.  It's awesome to see people come to America and actually stay focused.  Going to a foreign place and thriving is not for the weak minded.

99% of people could get into any school they want multiple times over, but is the motivation there? This guy for 8 years lived in a fucking mud hut and watched people starve to death around him

Motivation doesn't necessarily mean he's smart. I was accepted into princeton university simply because I did well in highschool (which is a fucking joke)


He was also accepted due to his story. Colleges love giving motivated foreigners free rides.

Because I didn't want to travel that far.

Went to local community college. I make 6 figures now on a 2 year degree. Don't really give a shit about impressing people with a fancy college name

I'm pretty sure all those universities are in really cold, shitty areas. If I was him, I'd go somewhere warm where they'd give me a "free" ride. That would be the smart move.

No.  Perfect grades and a perfect SAT still don't guarantee an ivy spot and most people are fucking too stupid anyway.  They would get killed once they were there anyway.  That's like thinking that if you just practice hard enough you can be a major league ballplayer.  No.  You can't.

Believe what you like

Even if i didn't own my own business, i would still be making well over 70k a year

Hell my uncle used to do it back in the 70s and he was making 6000 a month. Just talked to him about it recently

No. I think something about brown immigrants achieving incredible things and carving better lives for themselves just rubs you the wrong way.

I'm going to go ahead and let everyone know right now that years of hard work, ambition, and lastly, Nigerian culture and upbringing got him to where he is today.

You haven't a clue how serious the majority of Nigerian parents are about their children succeeding in America. And I am speaking from direct experience.

I think it's an inspiring story.  Most of us don't know what we're truly capable of because we're too scared and/or lazy to try.

It's definitely an inspiring story.

Nonetheless, its still undergrad and those universities are probably churning out thousands of graduates each year.

why not? is it because I suck at baseball? because I'm too short? because I'm old?

that's discrimination, I'm going to sue for a $30mil/year paycheck, I should not be left behind

  No.  It is because you are a garincher.
