Nigeria teen who received
acceptance letters from all eight Ivy League schools has decided where she'll
attend college in the fall. Surrounded by her
classmates donning their own college choice T-shirts, Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna
approached the podium and unzipped the black jacket she was wearing to reveal a
crimson T-shirt revealing her decision: Harvard.
Uwamanzu-Nna said getting into
all 12 schools she applied to has been an "exciting and surreal
experience," but making the final decision was not easy.Uwamanzu-Nna said
she approached the choice with an "open mind" but when it came down
to selecting her school, Harvard's "dedication to excellence .. in all students"
stood out. Uwamanzu-Nna, who is the daughter of Nigerian immigrants, said
the school's "strong Nigerian presence" was also attractive.
