It’s every student’s dream to apply and get accepted into their dream college or university. 

Although it may take a long road to get there with the dreaded SATs, admissions essays, and interviews, there’s no better feeling than reading an email or physical letter stating: “Congratulations, you’re accepted!”

And for two young academic scholars, those three words just may have changed their lives. 

All the hard work was worth it. I got accepted to Harvard at 16!! 😭😭😭 #Harvard #Harvard2022 pic.twitter.com/KjW3pAF0VG
