Enin, the son of immigrant nurses from Ghana, said a visit to the campus helped him make up his mind, 'New York Daily News' reported.
Enin, who has a straight-A average and scored in the 99th percentile on his SAT, had applied to and was accepted by Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and the University of Pennsylvania.
Enin, who lives in Shirley, is also a shot putter, viola player and a cappella singer, and wants to be a physician.
"A doctor is a community leader, a protector, someone who people turn to...When they need help," he said.
