Black Angel Celebrates Being Accepted Into Over 50 Colleges With $1.3 Million In Scholarships

Cursory: A senior student named Daya Brown has been accepted into over 50 colleges with $1.3 million in scholarships in the US. In an interview about her accomplishment, the 18-year-old detailed how she started her college applications. Brown disclosed that she’s decided to attend Duke University, where she’ll connect with other like-minded Black students

Daya Brown, a final-year student of Westlake High School in Atlanta, has gained admission into more than 50 colleges with $1.3 million in scholarships.

The 18-year-old who spent most of her high school experience in quarantine due to the pandemic, refused to let it derail her from focusing her energy on preparing for college.

In an interview with Good Morning America (GMA), Brown disclosed that she started the process during her sophomore (second) year in high school.

”I started to curate a list of schools that had certain majors or were great in what I wanted to study, mass communications or film,” she said.

She focused on her extracurricular pursuits after she had completed her list by choosing pursuits that reflected her interests such as writing, filmmaking and poetry. Elom & Co. Productions, Brown’s own company, was able to get off the ground in order to promote the work of upcoming artists.

She disclosed that she didn’t consider a specific number of institutions or any other scope when she first started applying.

Spending a few hours every day applying to schools, the young scholar did not want to take chances, she only wanted to make sure she hit all the colleges that would give her the chance to pursue a job in her interest areas while helping her financially.

More than 50 colleges and universities have admitted Brown as a result of her diligent work.

Out of all of them, Brown made the decision to enroll at Duke University because she thinks it will enable her to connect with other Black kids who share her interests.

She wants to study Journalism as a minor and major in Visual Media Studies.
