Two longtime friends and top students at the Newark School of Data Science and Technology in Newark, New Jersey, have been accepted to Brown University. Abdul Morakinyo and Bryan Oko, who have been friends since they were 7 years old, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in their graduating class with all A's and A+'s. They visited Brown's campus together two weeks prior to receiving the news and learned the total cost of attendance is $100,000, including room and board. Both received scholarships from Brown but are concerned about remaining costs. The friends hope their story encourages others to aim high and apply to top schools.
