All freakin' 8??? Naw High school student goes 8 for 8 in Ivy League college admissions. I'd of given the admissions office a real good laugh. Anyway. New York (CNN) -- A New York high school student has made it to the Elite Eight in a different sort of March Madness. Kwasi Enin of Shirley has been accepted by the eight Ivy League schools -- Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth, Princeton and Cornell -- and then some. He will have his choice as the decision deadline of May 1 approaches. "I simply thought I would apply," Enin told Long Island Newsday. "I was hoping to get one or two. Then they all came, and I said, 'There's no way.'" Enin scored a 2250 out of a possible 2400 on his SAT, placing him in the 98th percentile across the country, according to The College Board. He's also ranked 11th in his class at William Floyd High School, a public school on Long Island, according to his principal, Barbara Butler. http://www.cnn.com/2014/0...vy-league/ | |

A black kid who's in the top 2% of his class and gets a 2250 on the SAT can write his own ticket. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Nice to see he's got a ticket to write. To have such decisions to make. | |

They were talking about this (fellow Long Islander) student at the PTA Council meeting last night, and how he can serve as an inspiration to other minority students in our area. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |
