Saheela Ibraheem, of Edison, N.J., is every college’s dream. She plays soccer, softball, the trombone. She scored an almost perfect SAT. And she’s a nice, humble, normal girl.

“I want to study neuroscience, neurobiology,” Saheela said. “It comes down to the support I’ve had at home, from my parents and brother, every step of the way.

Saheela applied to 14 colleges. She got into Harvard, M.I.T., Princeton, Columbia, Penn, Stanford, Williams, Washington University, Brown, Cornell, University of Chicago, University of North Carolina, and Cal Tech. The only rejection was from Yale. No one is quite sure why.

“I don’t know!” she said.

But what might be most amazing about Saheela — she is 15.

“Most of the time, they say I’m mature for my age,” Saheela said. “I guess that Age isn’t everything.”

Her mom knew Saheela was something special at an early age.

“When you teach her 1, 2, 3 but she want more,” said Shakirat Ibraheem, the proud mother. “When you teach her 1 through 5, she’d say how about this.”

Saheela skipped the sixth and ninth grades. By high school, she’d switched from public to private. Her Edison school feels lucky to have her.

“She has it all. She’s the whole package,” said Susan Swenson of the Wardlaw-Hartridge School. “She really is.”
