A high school senior from Houston, Texas, was accepted by each of the 20 top-ranked universities to which he applied — and was offered a full scholarship to every single one of them.
Michael Brown, a 17-year-old student at Lamar High School, went viral after he was caught on camera screaming in glee upon learning he was accepted into Stanford University in December.
Little did the teen know at the time, but his excitement would increase by a factor of 20 in March when he was also accepted into Harvard, Princeton, Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and the University of Michigan, among other prestigious colleges.
But what did it take for Brown to pull off his flawless clean sweep?
To start, the high schooler has an impressive 4.68 grade point average and an SAT score of 1540 out of 1600. His ACT score, a 34 out of a possible 36, proved to be just as excellent.

Smart kid, I hope he goes far.
This does't happen too often. Maybe a leg up?

Although Brown remains undecided at the moment, he reportedly plans to major in political science and hopes to one day become a lawyer... Could be the next Sowell.

Wants to major in political science! And become a lawyer. BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! What a waste. Major in something that at least requires a brain cell.

Imagine that. Hard work and perseverance pays off.
Good for this kid. I’m sure he’ll continue to do well.

Although Brown remains undecided at the moment, he reportedly plans to major in political science and hopes to one day become a lawyer. Then he can't be that smart. What a waste.

He’s not so smart, squandering his scholarship money on being a lawyer. Given these great opportunities, he should make something of himself.

Becoming a Lawyer is the 1st step to becoming someone important for a lot of people.

Exactly. This story is not uncommon. There is intense competition among elite universities for academically qualified black boys because there are so few of them.

There is no “science” in political science. It is a degree in a narrow field of Sociology.
