Ms. Uwamanzu-Nna said she was shocked to get into so many colleges: In addition to the Ivies, she won admission to Johns Hopkins University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, New York University and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Ms. Uwamanzu-Nna, however, had a lot going for her — a better-than-perfect grade point average, made possible by taking the hardest classes, and the distinctions of being both valedictorian of her class and a finalist in the prestigious Intel Science Talent Search.
Her scientific pedigree most likely represented a crucial advantage since universities are seeking to usher more women into the sciences, said Kat Cohen, the chief executive of the admissions counseling service IvyWise.
“She wasn’t only a very bright girl. She had real hands on science research,” Dr. Cohen said. “That definitely, definitely, definitely makes her stand out.”
Ms. Uwamanzu-Nna also presented a compelling personal story. As the daughter of Nigerian emigrants, she shared something with many of the Ivy League sweepers in recent years. They tend to have immigrant backgrounds.
American universities, especially the Ivies, have been placing greater emphasis on diversifying their student populations, admissions counselors say.
“They are very concerned about racial and ethnic diversity,” Mr. Skarlis said. “They would rather have the Latino kid from the Bronx who has overcome something significant in his life, rather than the upper-middle-class or more affluent white student.”

If Ms. Uwamanzu-Nna is favoring any one in particular, she isn’t telling. She said she wanted to pursue biochemistry and environmental science, and planned to research the 12 universities and visit their campuses soon.
It’s overwhelming, she said. “I have a really big decision to make.”
She has until May 1 to pick just one.

What’s more, Ms. Uwamanzu-Nna (pronounced oo-wah-man-ZOO-nah) is just the latest student from her school to do it. In 2015, Harold Ekeh drew national headlines when he was accepted to 13 universities, including all eight Ivies.
