Abdul Majeed Abdallah, a brilliant former contestant of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) from Prempeh College, has gained admission to one of the prestigious Universities in the United States of America, Williams College, to pursue a degree in Computer Science.
A video posted by giantsblog24 on TikTok shows the NSMQ star sharing his educational experience since moving to study in the United States of America

Majeed was part of the Prempeh College team that clinched the ultimate prize at the 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz competition. The team defeated Presbyterian Boys Secondary School (Presec, Legon) and Keta Senior High School (Ketasco) to win the school’s fifth championship.
In the video, Majeed shared that after completing high school, he took a gap year to explore college options and research potential courses. He explained that he chose to major in Computer Science because many of his seniors are in the tech industry. However, due to his strong passion for mathematics, he decided to minor in the subject, though he is still considering whether to make it a second major.
Back in high school, I never had a computer science class. I never had an interest in it, as maths was my favourite. After talking to a few of my seniors who are already in the tech industry and doing my research, I decided to pick that as my major and pick mathematics as my minor. Hopefully, as time goes on, I may pick it as my major also,” he said.
