An Indian-origin student from Virginia got accepted at all 8 Ivy League schools and a few others too.
Pooja Chandrashekar got a 4.57 grade-point average, scored a 2390 (out of 2400) on the SAT, and aced all 13 of her Advanced Placement exams, the Washington Post reported.
Chandrashekar also founded a national non-profit that encourages middle-school girls to participate in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs.
The 17-year-old also developed a mobile app that analyzes speech patterns and predicts with 96 percent accuracy if a person has Parkinson's disease.
Chandrashekar said that she decided to apply to all eight ivies hoping to get into just one of them, because college admissions were really unpredictable.
