One person who begs to differ to this belief is Miss. Arianna Alexander, a young Melanoid high school senior from Kenwood Academy Chicago who got the best news that she–or many others–could ever receive in a lifetime. The student received 26 acceptance letters (which included six Ivy League schools), which exceeds an astronomical $3 million worth of scholarships. Arianna, who will attend the University of Pennsylvania, also graduated with a 5.1 GPA.

Check out this video clip below which highlights such an amazing achievement.
