Laguna Creek Senior Offered Full-Ride Scholarships To 9 Universities

ELK GROVE (CBS13) — A Laguna Creek High School senior has been accepted to nine big-name universities, each offering him a full-ride scholarship.

Valedictorian Lloyd Chen is a very much wanted man. The list of schools that accepted him and he rejected are the stuff of dreams for graduating high-school students.

Stanford.

Princeton.

Yale.

MIT.

Cal.

UCLA.

UC San Diego.

UC Davis.
