Aside from being accepted to a huge 49 universities, she got an accumulated $1.5 million scholarship award. “The acceptances started coming in the mail and over email. My parents were like, ‘wow, there’s another one.’ We saw the folder getting thicker and thicker over time,” Thompson narrated to Know Your Value.

“Acceptance is one thing, but once you see that they were going to offer me money—that really started adding up fast,” Thompson added.

Thompson believed her outstanding high school grade, extracurricular activities and hard work helped her secure so much success in her admission. Her two rejections came from Cornell University in New York and the University of Illinois, she said.
