Payton Pitts, an 18-year-old student from Chicago, has made an impressive mark by earning acceptance to all six Ivy League schools: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Columbia, and Cornell. After excelling academically and as a student-athlete, Pitts chose to attend Harvard, where he will also play for the basketball team.
His journey is a testament to hard work, as he not only achieved a straight-A record but also revitalized his high school’s Black Student Union, creating a supportive community for Black students.
In addition to his Ivy League acceptances, he also received offers from prestigious universities like Stanford and Morehouse College.
