It would be a success story if Fullerton Union High School senior Fernando Rojas, the son of Mexican immigrants whose schooling stopped in the eighth grade, was accepted to college. But the 17-year-old made a surprising clean sweep of every Ivy League(常春藤聯合會的) college.

“I didn’t think I would get into any,” Rojas said on Saturday. “When I was accepted by all the eight Ivy League colleges, it was a surprising joy.” The first call came from Yale University in February. Within weeks, calls, emails and letters followed from Dartmouth College, Brown University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Columbia University, Harvard University and Princeton University. Rojas was also accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools, the University of California, Irvine, and the California State University, Fullerton.

He is one of four children of Raul Rojas and Maria, who moved to Fullerton from Jalisco, Mexico, in the early 1980s. As a national speech and debate champion, Rojas thought that if he applied to the eight Ivy League colleges, he might get into one. Sal Tinajero, Rojas’ speech coach at Fullerton, said, “His biggest motivation was to let his parents know that their hard work meant something.”

After visiting several campuses, he settled on Yale, which costs $64,000 a year with room and board(膳宿). He is responsible for $6,000, and Yale scholarships cover the rest. “I loved Princeton,” Rojas said. “It was a beautiful campus, but it felt very stressful. Stanford was too big.”

Rojas owes his academic success to hard work and the guidance of his elder brothers. Before heading to Yale, he’s considering majoring in Latin American studies and perhaps a career as a lawyer in international affairs.
