The offers are from; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford, UPenn, Columbia, Cornell, Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, the University of Michigan, and Ann Arbor.
According to sources, Prince intends to study mathematics and computer science at the university with special interests in algorithmic reasoning, artificial intelligence and human-computer interactions.
Prince, Jr. obtained his basic school education at The Light Academy, Adenta where he was the School Prefect.
He graduated as the second-best candidate in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in the entire Adenta district in 2018.
