“The culture of hardwork and responsibility is what helped me get here” – Jude Okonkwo who Gained Admission into all Ivy League Schools | WATCH

The Nigerian teenager, Jude Okonkwo who gained admission into all 8 Ivy League schools (Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Pennsylvania and Yale University) has disclosed that the culture of hard work and responsibility imbibed in him by his high school was what gave him the opportunity.

The Chaminade High School senior explained how he found out about his acceptance into all 8 schools and his reaction afterwards

The 17-year old who plays the piano and sings in his church choir is the president of his school’s glee club, as well as the editor of the school’s newspaper. He is also on the school’s track team.

Jude, whose goal is to become a neurosurgeon said: “Right now, I’m leaning towards Harvard, because I applied there on early action and I’ve had a chance to kind of engage with the community and get a sense of what the school is all about. But I’m still very much open to the other schools and I want to learn more about them.”
