High school grad rejects Ivy League school acceptances

A high school grad in Tennessee who was accepted to every Ivy League school is making headlines again - because he rejected every single one of those offers.

Instead, 17-year-old Ronald Nelson accepted a full ride to attend the University of Alabama.

He says the scholarship will benefit him and his family.

The Ivy League schools did offer him some financial assistance, but his parents would have been stretched to pay the rest.

In high school, Nelson was senior class president, had near-perfect test scores and conducted his school's marching band.
