Ohanna Carrascoza, who grew up in Woodland Hills, California, applied to 27 universities during the latest admissions cycle in August last year and was accepted to 15 this spring.
Among her most notable achievements was gaining admission to Yale University, an Ivy League school ranked the No. 4 national university in the United States by U.S. News & World Report, with an acceptance rate of around 4%.
She was also accepted to Dartmouth College, another Ivy League school, and the University of Pennsylvania, while receiving a full scholarship offer from the University of Southern California.
Carrascoza ultimately chose Yale, calling it her "dream school" in a TikTok video in March.
The clip, which has gone viral, captured the moment she opened her Yale email alongside her parents. After seconds of suspense, the acceptance message appeared on screen, prompting screams, tears and hugs from the family.
