New Jersey teen gets accepted by all 8 Ivy League schools.

DENVILLE, New Jersey (WABC) -- This is the nail-biting time of year when high school seniors are hearing back from colleges to which they've applied.

For one young woman in New Jersey it's a magical time. She was accepted to all eight Ivy League schools, plus, for good measure, Stanford.

"Harvard, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton and Stanford," said Ifeoma White-Thorpe, Morris Hills High School Senior.

It's that moment when you shoot for the stars and actually make it.

"I want to go into global health and study biology and so many of them have great research facilities, so I was like, I might as well just shoot my shot and apply," Ifeoma said.

Ifeoma got eight acceptance letters from Ivy League schools.
"I was shaking, I was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like this might be eight out of eight and I clicked it and it said 'Congratulations' and I was like oh my goodness and then I was like, what did I say?" Ifeoma said.

"How many years do I have left to make a change," she said when she won the national Selma speech and essay competition.

It doesn't hurt that she aces her AP classes and is the student government president.

"I think my love for poetry and writing just really stood out," Ifeoma said.

The prestigious group of people who have been accepted into all Ivy League schools is, unsurprisingly, quite small.

In 2014, Kwasi Enin, a high schooler from New York, was accepted to all eight, eventually choosing Yale. He delivered the news at a news conference in his high school gym.

Harold Ekeh, who was born in Nigeria and moved to the US at the age of eight, also chose Yale after being accepted to all the Ivies. (Ekeh was also accepted into MIT and Johns Hopkins).

Last year, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna and Kelly Hyles both chose Harvard after being accepted into the eight prestigious schools.

I Love brilliant peeps

Good for her.

Ifeoma na nigerian girl now

She don turn New Jersey teen girl! If it was crime it will become "a Nigerian who parents moved to the US in 1985".

They all seem to be Igbos. Blessed race, the Igbos!!!

Nice one. I hope she chooses the best of the eight. That'll be one hell of a hard decision.

#waiting for the "Igbos are the best everywhere" commenters , they never fail*

Poor you. I'm sure you know I have never been involved in anything tribal here. But facts are facts!
And you may just wish to check the original post. You would notice that these feats were recurrent. And the there names mentioned were 3 Igbos. Three, not one!

You are the one with the poor mentality ogbeni. Park one side jare. Clannish attitude is in you like peak milk.

I'm not going to let you derail this thread. We are celebrating our sister and we are Happy for her. I don't give a shit what tribe she comes from. We'll celebrate her. Omo wa ni.

I am glad you have learnt your lesson. So, from now on, simply focus on celebrating the success, and do not be worry about those pointing out an aspect of the news people like you wish were never there.

For the records, you were the one who first said that you expect people to champion the tribe of the young girl mentioned, then you went ahead to mention me as an example of that.

When you grow up (if you ever do), you would learn to face the devils you create rather than blame others. On this occasion, that devil is that you instigated a tribal issue, but lack the balls to face it.

You sound pained!
But I can't help you.
Just put your energy in trying to grow up. You'll feel happier that way and will find it easier to quit envy.

Lol. Tribal bigot!
You can't even write without "speaking in tongues".
You've been beaten on your own game and tuff. Respect your elders next time, and learn to mind your own business.

Now go, and sin no more . . . .

You're desperately seeking my attention I see. Is this the first time someone is quoting you on this forum? You seem excited!

Focus on the issues being discussed, and stop sounding like a silly brat! Oh, wait a minute, maybe you are really one.

Are you tired of being bashed? Come on, deal with the facts and stop looking for an easy way out.

You looked for me first. And, even after I tried to forgive you, you came back with the trash above.

Well, if you have the guts stay on, otherwise, get lost,...and stay lost!!!

You Really are excited.

Finally your inconsequential self has been noticed.

Bro, I really have taken notice of your miserable existence OK? This has been a slice of heaven. Maybe we can do this some other time right?

We are celebrating someone with some real achievement here. OK?

Try and get a job maybe we'll celebrate you too for getting a job after 15 years of graduation.

Jumping up and down, trying your damndest to derail a thread celebrating the achievements of a teenager with probably a borrowed phone and definitely free MTN data is below you, uncle.

Try and get a life. OK?

If you need a job, instead of trying to get my attention by vomiting all over my thread, why don't you pm me. I'm sure we can find something for you to do on site.

You said nothing!!!
I do not need your attention, but I only responded to you to put you in your proper place.

And hey, I do not need an MTN data. In my world, I have access to unlimited data!!!

And I did not just get employed. I employ people!!!

Now, I warned you to get lost and stay lost. Be a good boy and do so!!!

Phew! It's nice to daydream isn't it. Better wake up and pm me your cv so we can get you to be useful to yourself.

All these forming online won't help you.

I'll be waitingfor your cv, OK. Be a good boy and make your parents proud of you for once in your life.

I don't need to "form" for you. And you ain't even qualified to see my CV.

Had you been well trained and not a disrespectful, tribal bigot, I might have offered you a job, better than whatever you are doing now.
Your miss!

Well,you are working too hard to digress and walk away from the mess you created.

Next time, do not pick on people you don't know.

Again, I urge you to get lost!
