Nationwide — Jada-Symone, an African American high school senior from Atlanta, Georgia, has been accepted into 52 colleges and received $1.8 million in scholarship offers. She plans to study business and complete both her undergraduate and master’s degrees in just four years.
Jada-Symone attends Wheeler High in Marietta, where teachers and family say she stands out for her ambition and focus. According to 11Alive, she plans to enroll in a 4+1 program, allowing her to earn a Bachelor’s in Business Management and a Master’s in Business Administration simultaneously. She can do this faster because she already has enough college credits to start as a sophomore.
Eventually, she hopes to earn a Ph.D. in industrial-organizational psychology. Her long-term goal is to combine her business knowledge with psychology to make a strong impact in the workplace.
Her acceptances include top schools like Florida A&M, Howard, Tennessee State, Alabama State, LSU, Michigan State, Clark Atlanta, Clemson, and Ohio State, among many others. Scholarship offers from these schools total $1.8 million.
Family and friends say Jada-Symone has always been driven and focused on her goals. Teachers describe her as ambitious, disciplined, and ready to take on any challenge that comes next.
With so many opportunities ahead, she is weighing her options carefully before deciding where to enroll this fall. Her future looks bright, and her story is inspiring students across Georgia.
