<p>Oh dear…massive props to him, but I sure do hope that this doesn’t give my parents any ideas…</p>

8

<p>Good for him. Well deserved</p>

<p>I can’t stop staring at his head.</p>

10

<p>Very impressive (both kids)!</p>

<p>Amazing accomplishment, and surely a fine young man who will go on to greatness, but this smacks of prestige hoarding. We hear it’s all about fit. There is no way that all 8 Ivies are a good fit for the same person. To apply to all 8 means you’re more interested in the Ivy label than the actual school.</p>

<p>JUST AMAZING!!!
This kid has accomplished what has not been done or heard of before.
“APPLIED to all IVY’s and got ACCEPTANCES from all of them?”
WAOOO…
Now we all know how hard it is to get into one of these schools, let alone all 8. I am happy for him and hope that he appreciates the BLESSING that has been bestowed upon him.
IVY’s are certainly not communicating with each other about their decisions on who to accept or reject - SO, if ALL 8 said yes to this guy, then he definitely did something that they are all impressed about, and decide they want him on their campuses.
If you read this “Kwasi”, CONGRATULATIONS to you, and BEST OF LUCK wherever you choose to go. YOU have been BLESSED.</p>

<p>I am sure I have learn from this story, and again that “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE”</p>

<p>@MANROSH, I can see why this one did not get that much attention in the US. He is international, and our #1 most coveted school (HARVARD), said “NO” to him. CONGRATULATIONS to him as-well.
Well, he had 12 other offers including 3 IVY’s so that is still quite and accomplishment.
Man these stories just made my day. If I did not get in to all of them, I am glad someone else, quite as deserving got in.</p>

<p>Wow, isn’t he smart, unique, and intelligent?</p>

<p>good luck !</p>

<p>UPDATE: Kwasi has chosen to study at Yale. What an amazing kid!</p>
