A Texas teenager from Lamar High School in the Houston Independent School District, was accepted by all 20 of the colleges and universities he applied to.
17-year-old Micheal Brown from Houston’s Third Ward, reportedly applied to 20 colleges and universities, including four Ivy League schools, and was accepted by all of the institutions after he had received an acceptance letter from Stanford University in December.
The acceptance emails reportedly came with more than $260,000 in scholarships.
In a Sunday statement on Chron.com, the excited teenager says: “It’s surprising I was accepted to all of them,” Brown said few days after the last of the acceptance emails came in.
However, his principal and counselors were not surprised at all as he was involved in a long list of extracurricular activities, including debate.
Michael who achieved an impressive high school academic record of 4.68 GPA is looking to be a political science major. He recently worked on Mayor Sylvester Turner’s election campaign.
According to the reports, Brown hasn’t made a final decision yet, but he has listed seven schools. “In no particular order,” they are: Northwestern, Georgetown, Princeton, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and Stanford Universities.
In his words: “I got nervous, because I don’t think anyone ever wants to be rejected.”
