A 15-year-old Nigerian, David Akiogbe, has made headlines after achieving an extraordinary SAT score, marking a significant milestone in his academic journey. David scored a perfect 800 out of 800 in Mathematics and 780 out of 800 in Reading and Writing, totaling an impressive 1580 out of 1600. His exceptional performance has been officially confirmed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is currently seeking admission.
David's remarkable achievement is not only a testament to his intellect but also his self-discipline and commitment. His father, Stephen Abiodun Akiogbe, shared the inspiring story behind his son's success, revealing that David embarked on this journey two years ago. With no formal tutor, David took the initiative to research and prepare for the SAT independently. "He studied hard by himself with no tutor and made 1580/1600," said his father, expressing immense pride in his son's dedication.
David's path to this achievement began when he set his sights on attending one of the world's top institutions. His father recalls how, despite being young, David was resolute about pursuing his dream and taking the SAT on his own. “The interesting part of it all is that he started nursing the dream 2 years ago. He researched, studied on his own, applied on his own, and I came in only at the point of payment and submission of the application to double-check his work," Stephen explained.
This achievement has been a source of inspiration for both parents and teenagers alike. David's dedication is a reminder of the power of hard work, determination, and parental support in nurturing a child's aspirations. "He is an inspiration for teenagers, an inspiration to parents. I'm his Dad, and I'm proud of him," Stephen Akiogbe said.
With his SAT scores now confirmed by MIT, David is well on his way to achieving his academic dreams. His success story is sure to inspire many other young Nigerians and students around the world who aspire to reach the highest levels of academic excellence.
