A high school senior has picked which college he will attend after getting over 185 acceptances.
Barnes made the announcement from his school, International High School of New Orleans.
Barnes, who has a 4.98 GPA and is graduating two years early, told CNN last month he wanted to pursue computer science and then go to law school. He started applying to schools in August 2022 and said that he didn't initially intend to set any records."As I applied to more schools, as my numbers went up, with the financial aid and acceptances into universities, I became intrigued," Barnes said, adding that when he was told he was close to the record, he "just went for it.
"I would like to get away from New Orleans. I love my city, but I do want to venture out and experience new things and see the new things that I haven't seen before," Barnes said, as he promised to "always" come back home. Barnes has received 27 college credits in the past two years and has been dually enrolled in Southern University of New Orleans, according to his high school. He has received internship opportunities and other accolades for his academic achievements, including a proclamation from New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell.
