Harold Ekeh Harold Ekeh is a 17-year-old high school senior who has reached unbelievable success for a boy of his age. The talented Nigerian teenager has not just been accepted by one Ivy League university; he was accepted by all eight. Ivy League schools are generally viewed as some of the most prestigious, and are ranked among the best universities worldwide. Now Ekeh has to make one of the most important decisions in his life: choose a university where he wants to study. Speaking with CNN journalists, the boy already confessed: “I am leaning toward Yale. I competed at Yale for Model UN, and I like the passion people at Yale had.” The boy added that some of the Yale students he met became his friends and mentors. They were giving him useful advice on the college application process. Now Ekeh is trying to pay back the help he received and do the same thing for others. He has founded a college mentoring programme at his school, Elmont Memorial High School on Long Island in the New York City suburbs. The aim of the programme is to help students to get into top universities. Harold Ekeh is a 17-year-old high school senior who has reached unbelievable success for a boy of his age.
