Prince George's County Student Accepted to 14 Colleges

A talented high school student in Prince George's County has a big decision to make soon -- she was accepted to 14 colleges and universities, including Harvard, Princeton and Stanford.

Olawunmi Akinlemibola, a senior at DuVal High School in Lanham, Maryland, was accepted to Ivy League schools, the University of Maryland and several other institutions.

The 18-year-old has a 4.15 GPA and already has earned college credit. She works hard for her success, her guidance counselor, Stacy Kline, said.
"I'm just amazed by her," she said. "It's the internal drive that she has."

Akinlemibola said her family's support is key. She lives with her father, but her mother and two sisters are home in Nigeria, where she was born. In a recent interview, she began to cry as she spoke about her mother.

"Even though she's not here physically, she takes care of me. Emotionally, she provides a lot of support," the student said. She hopes her family will be reunited this year.

Akinlemibola said part of what drives her to succeed is a sense that she has opportunities her parents didn't have.
"They’ve just gone through so much, and it's like, this is like the least I can do, is do well in school," she said.
Here's where Akinlemibola was accepted, according to WTOP:

Emory University
Brown University
University of Maryland, Baltimore County
University of Maryland, College Park
Swarthmore College
Grinnell College
Amherst College
University of Chicago
Duke University
Stanford University
Cornell University
Princeton University
Harvard University
University of Pennsylvania

Akinlemibola said Stanford is the front-runner. She would study biology and, with scholarships, pay just $300 per year in tuition.

Yet! this is small fry to us . I saw some people from the land of the rising Mark Nsukabags sharing Gala/fanyogo on some threads few days back mentioning Yoruba all over the place lol. Lmaooo they actually think Yorubas are competing with them

Kiiiiids, call us the day you produce a Nobel and 10 Grammy award winners then we can talk. Y'all still beneath us. Facts! Please don't get carried away . Applying to all Ivy league schools is a choice. It's not necessary when you are sure of getting into the one you applied to

The developers from the land of the rising Mark Nsukabags are already crying on the thread as usual

Oya e gba biscuit

Did I need to congratulate her? No.

14 mushroom universities The type of glorified secondary school our minister of finance finished from Wake me up when she is admitted by ALL IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITITES

Igbos are the ones that know how to do it.
We get ALL 8 IVY LEAGUE schools plus others, not this combination up there.

Where did you get your own degree from? Harvard or Princeton?

Super smart Omoluabi girl!

Some idiats don't know top schools in the USA...lol, they are hating on this girl's achievements because ....**cough cough* she isn't from their tribe of drug barons and "baby manufacturers".
I suggest they check the list of top schools in the USA to cure them of their hate - even though I doubt they will change, because they are born and trained to hate Omoluabis.

You are trying to belittle a young girl whose achievements are remarkable enough to be carried by a major news outlet like NBC whereas your own degree is probably worth less than the paper it was written on.

WOW...

Igbo kwenu!

Cornell, Duke, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard are mushroom schools?

Are you aware that the standards there are so high that if an Igbo man drops out of any of them, the elders in Igboland would confer him with a chieftaincy title?

I don't think you're Igbo, Ndigbo aren't this daft.

Dude, the Igbo lads are receiving offers from all 8 Ivy League schools and this one only managed 5 Ivy League schools.

If e no be panadol, e no fit be like panadol.

However, congratulations to the girl. She's done well for herself

Professor, kindly list the 2 Ivy league schools that offered her admission.

I don't think so too, I think some people are deliberately trying to make Igbo look petty and stupid.
