Congratulations
Akintunde…dreams do come true.
Like they say, appearances can sometimes be deceiving.
Meet Nigerian-American Akintunde Ahmad. Your first impression of the 18-year old who is
6’1 with long dreads, may be ”thug-like” or “scary”, because of his huge
appearance but that is far from it. The soft spoken young man made headlines last week for
scoring a 2100 SAT score, out of 2400, and a 5.0 GPA from Oak Tech High School. He was accepted into numerous ivy-league schools
including Yale, Brown, UCLA,
Columbia, Northwestern, USC, Howard, Cal Poly, Chapman and Cal State East Bay.He is one of 6 kids and a baseball player.
Ellen DeGeneres invited
him on her Ellen DeGeneres show
and gave him a whooping sum of $15,000 for tuition and miscellaneous. He
announced that he will be studying at Yale.
