A Nigerian teen, Nina Uziogwe was accepted
to seven Ivy League schools, joining a
growing club of Nigerians students who
have achieved the distinction.
Uziogwe, a senior at Stuyvesant High
School, who plans to study medicine has
her pick from among Harvard, Dartmouth,
Cornell, UPenn, Columbia, Princeton and
Yale.
Uziogwe’s family is originally from Nigeria,
and her mother says she always stressed
academic performance. But Uziogwe is the
first in her large extended family to be
accepted to more than one Ivy League
university..
She says she took a number of advanced
placement classes and joined extracurricular
activities, like cheerleading.
“To be able to weigh two hours of
homework for class and do all the
extracurriculars sort of became a challenge
of balancing my work ethic with time
management,” Uziogwe says.
She says financial aid will be the biggest
factor in determining which school to
attend.
“I have five younger siblings,” she says. “I
don’t want the idea of paying for college to
be a huge burden.”
