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 and do the same thing. He has founded a college mentoring program at his school, Elmont Memorial High School on Long Island in the New York City suburbs. The aim of the program is to help students to get into top universities.
