I know that everyday we are reminded that this country is filled with people who aren’t bright at all. Just take a few minutes to scroll through Twitter and that will become clear. But thankfully there are still folks out there who are extremely smart, which gives us hope for the future.

According to CNN, a 17-year-old Houston, Texas student named Michael Brown recently applied to 20 of the best universities in America. And guess what? This guy not only got accepted to every single school, but he got a full scholarship to every one of them, including $260,000 in additional scholarship offers.

Brown has already narrowed the 20 schools into his top eight, which are as followed: Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Georgetown and finally, Vanderbilt. Pretty damn impressive.

If you’re wondering how to pull this off as well, you should probably know that Brown has only ever received one ‘B’ grade, with the rest being A’s. Brown has also been a part of his school’s debate team, and he’s been a part of student government. Brown reveals that he wants to get a degree in political science and another in economics.

Here’s hoping this kid continues to aim high because we could use some more smart people in this country. Brown will be making his final decision on May 1. So you all have time to put money down on the school you think he will be choosing.
