Dubai student gets accepted into 23 universities in the UK and US

A 17-year old Dubai College science student has received acceptance offers from 23 prestigious universities in the UK and US. Pritvik Sinhadc, a  researcher and author, has been accepted in California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Stanford, and several Ivy League universities including Princeton, Columbia, University of Pennsylvania, Brown, and Dartmouth. Sinhadc said he applied to all the universities because his parents were unsure of where he'll get in. Despite receiving tons of scholarships from some of the top universities in the world, Sinhadc is currently taking his pick from Caltech, Stanford, and Princeton. Sinhadc had recently survived a life-threatening kidney transplant. Despite this, he plans to pursue his double major in Physics and Astrophysics, and a minor in Planetary Sciences and/or Mathematics starting from September 2022. Among his long list of achievements was publishing his first non-fiction Palaeontology book “When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth” at age 7. “Many advised that my application might be adversely affected since US universities normally take in ‘holistic’ students, meaning I needed to play sport or get into music, dance or theatre," Sinhadc said describing the adversities he has faced. Sinhadc reminds others who are going through the complex application process at varsities to be themselves. “No acceptance or rejection should define who you are and what you can achieve in life. Respectfully take everyone’s opinions, but be confident in letting the admission officers know only your thoughts, your own story, in ‘your own style’,” Sinhadc added. JMS/Expat Media
