ELMONT, New York: For the second year in a row, a student at a suburban New York school has been accepted at all eight Ivy League universities.
Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna, whose parents came to the U.S. from Nigeria, has until May 1 to decide whether she'll attend one of the prestigious northeastern universities. She also can choose from Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
It's the second time in as many years that a student at Elmont Memorial High School has been accepted at all Ivy League universities. Last year, Nigerian-born Harold Ekeh chose Yale from among the 13 universities where he was accepted.
Although still a rarity, acceptance at every Ivy League school appears to be a growing phenomenon. Because the universities all operate independently on their admissions, there are no reliable statistics on how many students are accepted at all eight.
