17-year-old Michael Brown from Houston applied to 20 of the best universities in the United States and he was admitted to every single one with a full ride and $260,000 in additional scholarship offers.


"It's something I'm proud of because I see my hard work paying off, determination paying off, sacrifices paying off," he said. Of those 20, he listed his top eight choices as: Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Georgetown and Vanderbilt.


Currently a senior at Mirabeau B. Lamar High School, Michael has been heavily involved in his school's debate team, mock trial and student government for years. He has also volunteered for political campaigns, citing his interest to "the moment I saw Barack Obama get elected." He is set on majoring in political science, but is also considering a second degree in economics.


His proud mum, Rutledge-Brown lost three babies before becoming pregnant with Michael. Once she finally had a son, she poured all of her energy into giving him the very best that she possibly could. He only received one B during his entire academic career, which she said was very difficult for him.

He is specially gifted. Full stop! Some people are born with extraordinary talent, even if an ordinary person matches their hard work, determination and perseverance s/he will still not measure up to them.

See pikin the boy has made his parents proud.The American system is good that you can be able to apply for that number of universities in my country it's the opposite only one federal,state university or polytechnic and colleges of education even at that you won't even be sure of an admission

At least I'm trying to be like them in a positive way. Let's talk about you who's on about the cash instead of the ground breaking strides this thread is all about.


Just before you ask if I don't want money; ofcourse I do but not in this scenario and BTW my previous mention was just a joke of how we react due to the economic situation. It was not in anyway trying to throw a jab at you

Happy Easter!

Baba, no vex.

But you saying the thread is about the 'ground breaking strides' is fallacious.

You might be inclined to the academical success, but the op might beg to differ.

If it's just about the achievement, the op wouldn't have added the pecuniary part.

"It's something I'm proud of because I see my hard work paying off, determination paying off, sacrifices paying off,". If you work hard at it enough, it's possible. You don't have to be a genius.
