Oxford University: Three years after being denied admission, a 21-year-old Ghanaian declines a full scholarship from Oxford.
Martin Adams, a 21-year-old man, has turned down a full scholarship to pursue his Masters’s degree at Oxford University.
The young man’s rejection of the scholarship comes three years after he was denied admission to a UK institution.
Martin’s brother, Mark Adams, narrated the story in a LinkedIn post, revealing how, at the age of 18, he applied to study law at Oxford University but was denied admission.

Martin was 21 years old when he wrote a legal paper that went viral, and prestigious universities began to court him with full master’s scholarships.
Oxford university was one of the universities that invited him to be a student, but he declined and responded with a scathing letter in which he revealed that he had chosen Harvard University instead.
Mark Adams posted a photo of his brother’s letter along with the following message:
”My brother applied to Law at Oxford at 18 & was rejected
At 21 he wrote a legal paper that blew up big time
Every uni sought him out and offered a full scholarship
Including the SAME college that had rejected him before 😳
Here was his response…”
The letter reads;
“Thank you for your kind letter and the offer of a fully paid master’s scholarship at the college. I am truly touched.
“However, I must inform you that your application to me is unsuccessful. In parity with the degree of concern and respect you show all applicants, I will offer you no reason or explanation for why.
Instead, I simply return to you the exact letter you sent to me 3 years ago this month – with your name swapped out for mine and vice versa.
“I have accepted a fully paid scholarship at Harvard and begin in September.
Have a Nice Life!”
