Sunny Nguyen, 13, Accepted to Over 100 Colleges with $3 Million in Scholarships

Sunny Nguyen, a 13-year-old Vietnamese American from San Jose, California, has been accepted to more than 100 universities across the United States, with scholarship offers totaling approximately $3 million. Among the prestigious schools offering him admission are UC Berkeley and UC San Diego. Sunny, who has been homeschooled for most of his life, credits his parents' support and the flexibility of homeschooling for nurturing his interests in mathematics and technology, including website creation and artificial intelligence. When homeschooling could no longer fulfill his academic ambitions, his father began applying to colleges on his behalf, leading to an unexpected wave of acceptance letters and scholarships. Sunny's achievements may set a world record for the youngest person to receive this number of college acceptances. He also maintains a popular YouTube channel with nearly 60,000 subscribers.
