Ms Galletto, who got a 97% GPA, said that she got her first acceptance from the University of Albany.
Malena Galletto, 17, has received acceptance letters from all eight Ivy League Schools. Not just that, the young sensation, from Washington Heights, has also received positive outcomes from the other 20 colleges and universities she applied to, reported the NY Post.
“When I was about to open [an admissions] letter, I would prepare myself for it to be the first rejection letter. And then I would open them and it would always say, ‘Congratulations on being accepted!” Ms Galletto was quoted as saying.
Ms Galletto, who got a 97% GPA, said that she got her first acceptance from the University of Albany.
She added, “For as long as I can remember, school has always been my number one priority. Even in elementary school, I remember always wanting to be at the top of my class,” she said, crediting her parents, both of whom teach tango and immigrated from their native Argentina to Washington Heights in 2000. They instilled in her that “education was the most important thing.”
