Payton Pitts, a high school senior, applied to six Ivy League colleges and got into all of them.
Payton Pitts, 18, is getting to ready to graduate from Francis Parker School in Chicago, which he has attended since kindergarten, and his future is starting to take shape now that Ivy Day is here.
Ivy Day is when Ivy League schools reveal which students are admitted to their prestigious institutions. Pitts applied to six Ivys and got yeses across the board."I'm not aware of a student, particularly from Parker, who has that sort of success in the Ivy Leagues," said his mother Adrienne Pitts. "I think them having a place to come and build a sort of camaraderie between Black students and Parker, which is a primarily white school, would help," Pitts said.
"What comes through is his warmth, his insight, and his humility about all of his achievements, his successes and the respect he has for his classmates, teammates and teachers," said Principal Dan Frank.
