Parkland survivor, gun reform advocate accepted to Harvard

PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — A Florida survivor of a mass school shooting and co-founder of March For Our Lives has been accepted to Harvard.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas senior Jaclyn Corin posted a photo of her admissions notice on Instagram Thursday. The letter congratulated Corin for being accepted under the early action program. She wrote "hard work pays off." She didn't indicate whether she would attend.

Since the Valentine's Day massacre that killed 17 students and teachers, Corin and others from the organization have been travelling the globe advocating for gun reform and registering students to vote. She recently traveled to South Africa to receive the Children's Peace Prize with fellow students. She was also on the cover of Time magazine and helped mobilize tens of thousands for a gun control rally in DC that was broadcast on live TV.
