Malala Gets Accepted To Oxford. JK Rowling, Others Tweet Congratulations

In a tweet shared about 3 hours ago, Malala Yousafzai revealed that she had been accepted into Oxford. The youngest-ever Nobel laureate will be studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at the prestigious university in the UK. She also revealed that she is excited about going to Oxford. "So excited to go to Oxford!! Well done to all A-level students --- the hardest year. Best wishes for life ahead!" wrote the 20-year-old, who, in 2012, was nearly killed by the Taliban in Pakistan for campaigning for girls' right to education.
