Long Island teenager Kwasi Enin was accepted into all eight Ivy League colleges.
The son of Ghanaian immigrants, Enin has credited his parents for teaching him to strive for excellence throughout his academic career and in life.
“They taught me 95 percent isn’t good enough . . . I’m proud, honored, appreciative,” Enin told the New York Post.
Enin, the 17-year-old senior at William Floyd HS School in Mastic Beach, has become a national media sensation after it was learned he has the tough choice of selecting from Brown, Columbia, Cornell University, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale to pursue his college education.
Enin plays viola, sings in the school orchestra and competes as a shot-putter . With his 4.0 GPA and a 2,250 (out of 2,400) on SAT score, he applied to a total of 12 colleges and was accepted by all of them.
He was also accepted into Duke, Stony Brook University, SUNY Geneseo and Binghamton University.
