The wave of wonder kids gaining admission into top-tier universities seems to still be on a steady rise as another teenager, Oludamilola Oluwadara Adekeye, who applied to 20 top-tier universities got accepted by 19 of them. The 17-year-old who is based in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates where she attends the Brighton College has been accepted into Harvard, McGill, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, the London School of Economics and other top schools.

Spoilt for choices, she said she is undecided still on what course to study though she finds herself leaning more towards a double major in international relations and economics. Oluwadamilola is also very proficient in violin.
“I’m very involved in music at my high school. I’m in three musical groups and I started a fourth,” she said on CNN.

Oludamilola Oluwadara Adekeye joins the likes of Jude Okonkwo, Ifeoma White-Thorpe and Nina Uzoigwe who all achieved similar feats last year
