A senior in New Orleans has been accepted into 115 colleges and universities and offered nearly $3.8 million in scholarships.Great job!
Antoinette Love, who attends the International High School of New Orleans (IHSNO), was still awaiting responses from 12 more universities...
“Antoinette began her freshman year as a shy girl, and she has grown into a hard-working scholar who is eager to help her fellow students with their academics,” said Sean Wilson, Head of School for IHSNO.
She was inducted into the National Senior Beta Club, the National Honor Society, the National English Honor Society and Rho Kappa National Social Studies Honor Society in her four years at the school, administrators said.
Love, who plans to major in elementary education, said she will be busy over the next few weeks visiting several colleges that have awarded her scholarships.

I find this interesting in another way. She applied to 127 schools? College applications average $43 (US News & World Reports). This young woman was so clueless as to where she wanted to go that that she spent ~$5,400 on applications? Must be nice to have money to throw away like that. Did she really think that all 115 were possibilities that she really would want to attend? Sounds more like she just wanted to see how many she could get accepted to for her own gratification.
A lot of schools have fee waiver provisions, allowing low-income students to apply for free.
