Harold Ekeh, a high-school senior in New York has been accepted into all eight Ivy League schools in the United States.

Born in Nigeria to immigrant parents from Ghana, the 17-year-old was accepted into all 13 schools he applied for, including MIT and Johns Hopkins University, UPI reported.

 The eight Ivy League institutions that accepted him — comprising Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania and Yale — will accept less than 9 percent of applicants for the class of 2018, CBS News reports.

Ekeh scored 2250 out of 2400 on the SAT and was involved in several extra-curricular activities at Elmont Memorial High School in Long Island, including orchestra, drama and a college mentoring program designed to help students attend top universities.

A 2015 Intel Science Talent Search semifinalist, Ekeh is multilingual, speaking Ibo and Spanish, and has a 100.5 percent grade point average. He said he wishes to pursue a major in neurobiology or chemistry in order to eventually become a neurosurgeon.

Ekeh said he is still uncertain which university to choose but notes that he leans toward Yale based on his experiences competing there with the Model U.N. “I wasn’t thinking full flush,” he told CBS News about his acceptance letters. “I was looking through the list, and I was like, ‘There’s no way. Someone has to say no. That just doesn’t happen.’”
