The Ivy League universities are notoriously tough to get in to.

Acceptance to all eight is nearly impossible.

But a handful of students have gotten eight Ivy acceptances for the class of 2019. These students have one specific thing in common — they're all the children of immigrants.

Take Cape Fear Academy student Victor Agbafe. His mother, who now lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, emigrated from Nigeria.

Munira Khalif, who attends Mounds Park Academy in St. Paul, Minnesota, is the daughter of Somali immigrants.

Likewise, current Yale University freshman Kwasi Enin made headlines last year when he got accepted to each of the Ivies. Enin's parents both emigrated to the US from Ghana.

Other students who received eight Ivy League acceptance letters are immigrants themselves.

Harold Ekeh now attends Elmont Memorial High School on Long Island, New York, but moved to the US with his family from Nigeria when he was 8 years old. That's the same age North Central High School student Stefan Stoykov was when his family moved from Bulgaria to Indianapolis.

Aside from their Ivy League acceptances, these students also scored a number of "yes" letters from equally impressive and competitive colleges. Three of the high school seniors got accepted to Stanford University — the most competitive college in the country — and at least one was accepted to MIT.
