A brilliant Nigerian student identified as Odekunle David has received letters from seven of twelve Ivy League schools in the United States of America

He hasn’t made his final choice yet. But no matter where David Odekunle chooses to attend college, the Bloomfield High School senior is looking forward to taking the next steps to becoming a doctor and “eliciting change” in his community.

Odekunle, 17, and his proud mother, Florence Odekunle, recently told Patch that he has been accepted into 15 universities, including seven Ivy League schools.

So far, the ambitious teen has been accepted to Princeton University, Yale University, Brown University, Columbia University, Dartmouth University, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, Rutgers University, The College of New Jersey, Kean University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Stevens Institute of Technology and Caldwell University.

The Odekunle family may be a familiar name to Bloomfield residents. In 2019, David’s older brother, Emmanuel, was also accepted into several of the same Ivy League colleges. The siblings also have a sister, Deborah, who is currently in the 9th grade at Bloomfield High School.
