Tyrone Iras Marhguy, the Rastafarian student who faced initial admission challenges at Achimota School due to his dreadlocks, has achieved a remarkable feat by attaining the 99th percentile globally in the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).

The SAT is a widely recognized and competitive examination used by many universities in the United States to assess students' abilities before they enroll in university.

Marhguy scored an impressive 1500 out of a maximum 1600, ranking in the 99th percentile. This means he performed better than 99% of all the candidates who took the examination in the year 2022. Such a high score is particularly noteworthy as only 1 out of every 100 candidates typically attains this level of achievement.

In expressing his gratitude for his academic success, Marhguy acknowledged the invaluable role played by Achimota School in his educational journey.

As he contemplates his future academic endeavors after securing 8As in the 2023 WASSCE, Marhguy is setting his sights on pursuing studies in either Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.

He is eyeing tertiary institutions such as Harvard, Cornell, Ashesi and Academic City.

In an exclusive interview with Citi TV, Marhguy outlined his preferences, stating, “In Ghana, it’s Ashesi, Academic City, and in terms of courses, it will be Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. I am also exploring opportunities at prestigious international institutions such as Columbia, Harvard, MIT, and Cornell.”
