“I am so lucky，"Roias told The Orange County Register on Saturday.“When I got all eight，it was a blessing and a curse because I had to choose.I was excited and scared and everything at the same time.”
The first call came from Yale University in February.Within weeks calls，emails and letters followed from the other seven universities.Rojas also was accepted by Stanford University and two nearby schools，the University of California，Irvine，and California State University，Fullerton.
He is one of four children of Raul Rojas，59，and wife，Mafia，56，who moved to Fullerton fromJalisco，Mexico，in the early 1980s.
A national speech and debate champion，Rojas reasoned that if he applied to the eight Ivy League schools，he might get into one.Sal Tinajero，Rojas’speech and debate coach at Fullerton，told the newspaper that Rojas is a hardworking self-starter who thrives(茁壮成长) on competition.“His biggest motivation for speech and debate was his parents to know that their hard work meant something，”Tinajero said.
After visiting several campuses，he settled on Yale，which costs $64，000 a year with room and board.He is responsible for$6，000;Yale scholarships and federal grant money cover the rest.
