Rockaway, NJ – A New Jersey teen has to make a decision that most seniors dream of – choosing which Ivy league school she will attend in the Fall. The only problem is, Ifeoma White-Thorpe was accepted to all 8 Ivy league schools.

Ifeoma White-Thorpe said she was shaking when she got the eighth acceptance letter.

“I was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like this might be eight out of eight and I clicked it and it said ‘Congratulations’ and I was like oh my goodness!” White-Thorpe told CNN affiliate WABC-TV

White-Thorpe, a senior and student government president at Morris Hills High School in Rockaway, has to choose between Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Dartmouth and Brown Univ. She was also accepted to Stanford.

She wants to study biology and pursue a career in global health. Since all of the Ivy League schools “have great research facilities,” she decided to apply to them all.

This is an incredible feat as only a few get accepted to all 8 ivy league schools. She now holds that accomplishment with Kwasi Enin in 2014, Harold Ekeh in 2015 and Augusta Uwamanzu-Nna and Kelly Hyles who got accepted to all schools with the last few years.

Ifeoma’s parents say it is totally up to their daughter on where she will attend.

White-Thorpe says she just doesn’t know yet.

Congratulations Ifeoma! We wish you the best of luck!
