Cursory: A 13-year-old Nigerian genius has gained admission into an American university to study computer science, making her country and parents proud.

A 13-year-old Nigerian teenager, Emmanuella Mayaki, has made her family and birth country proud as she got into an American university as a student.

She was admitted into the popular Programme for the Exceptionally Gifted (PEG) at Mary Baldwin University, where she would be learning computer science, The Guardian reports.

A part of her admission letter reads:

“…congratulations on your acceptance to the Programme for the Exceptionally Gifted(PEG) at Mary Baldwin University! Welcome to the PEG class of 2026.” To gain admission into the prestigious university, she had 91% of 1,300 in her SAT.
