Five Xaverian HS seniors all accepted by Cornell University
It’s quite a coup when a high school can say that a member of its senior class has been accepted into an Ivy League university. But five seniors? Now that’s something to boast about!
Xaverian High School, a Catholic school for boys in Bay Ridge, announced late last week that five members of the Class of 2015 have been accepted for admission into Cornell University. Four of them will be attending the Ivy League school this fall.
“It feels pretty nice,” Valedictorian Ritvik Taneja, 17, told the Brooklyn Eagle on Sunday. “I won’t be alone going to college.”
