15-Year-Old Picks Harvard After Being Accepted to 13 Colleges
Do you know any 15-year-olds who are on their way to Harvard?
Meet Saheela Ibraheem (pictured), a senior at Wardlaw-Hartridge School in Edison, N.J.
Crediting her parents, who are Nigerian immigrants, for her academic achievements -- her father is said to have stayed up at night teaching her subjects not found at school -- Saheela's exceptional journey began as a 6th grader at Conackamack Middle School in Piscataway, N.J.

While there, Saheela asked to be moved to a higher-level class because she was passionate about math. Instead, the school decided to skip her a grade.
But this would be just the beginning.
Saheela realized early on that her public school still wasn't doing it for her; consequently, the zealous student moved to Wardlaw-Hartridge, a private school, and skipped freshman year to land in 10th grade. Her new school would end up being the right place for Saheela, giving her the bandwith to feel challenged and excel. Wardlaw-Hartridge Director of Development William Jenkins says:
"She's learned and she's very smart. But she keeps pushing herself."
But this is not just the story of a student who has mastered education. Saheela takes the concept of stimulating the mind and body to a whole other level.
