Remarkably brilliant Nigerian girl gets admitted into 14 of the best universities in the world
An 18-year-old Nigerian girl has left the
world in complete astonishment after
getting admitted into fourteen of the top
universities in the world. Of these
schools, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford
and Duke were listed.
Olawunmi Akinlemibola, the 18-year-old Nigerian
girl who got admitted into 14 ivy league
schools.
Akinlemibola became a sought-after
student as a result of her 4.15 grade-
point and the 53 college credits she had
taken through the Prince George’s
county school system’s dual enrollment
program with local colleges. It was gathered that the bright
Nigerian girl is not only a geek; she is
well-rounded as she was at some point
the captain of the school’s soccer team.
Of the 300 students at the Lanham
Maryland high school, Akinlemibola
stood out in the group.
her counselor had nice
words to say about her.
“Wunmi is one of the top students I’ve
ever had the privilege of working with,”
Kline said. “And I say ‘privilege’ because
she’s someone who has taken classes far
beyond the ones I’ve taken — even in my
master’s programs!”
Akinlemibola got admitted into the
following universities:
1. Harvard University
2. Brown University
3. Emory University
4. Swarthmore University
5. Grinnell College
6. University of Chicago
7. Amherst College
8. University of Maryland, College park
9. University of Maryland, Baltimore
County
10. Princeton University
11. Cornell University
12. Stanford University
13. Duke University
14. University of Pennsylvania
Akinlemibola who had always been a
voracious reader attributed her success
to her curiosity and the climate at
Duval. She offers study tips and
strategies for tackling the classes that
may be difficult with her mates.
The remarkably bright girl had a grade point of
4.15.
The Nigerian girl said her mother is her
source of inspiration and
encouragement. The brainiac’s mother
and her two sisters live in Nigeria so
she communicates more with them on
the phone.
The bright student who lives with her
father in Prince George’s county
revealed that her mother did not go to
college and that her father works as a
security officer. She and her two little
sisters however enjoy learning.
Akinlemibola was the captain of the soccer
team at some point.
Her mother is most likely to join them
soon according to her. The older lady
had promised that her two sisters will
outshine her as soon as they get to the
high school age. Akinlemibola accepted
that they are smarter than her.
Although the intelligent girl is saddled
with the responsibility of making a life
changing decision with the schools lined
up for her to choose, she is currently
bothered about what to wear to prom.
Meanwhile, ladies in Nigeria are doing
their best to make something out of life.
