New Orleans senior Dennis “Maliq” Barnes received more than 180 college acceptance letters and nabbed more than $10 million in scholarship offers, a new national record that brought international media attention.

Now, he’s chosen which school he’ll attend next year.

In an announcement ceremony Friday that had the trappings normally reserved for five-star recruits, Barnes told a gathering of family, friends and fellow students at International High School of New Orleans that he planned to attend Cornell University as part of the class of 2027, enrolling in the college of engineering.

Barnes graduates from IHSNO later this month.
