Bruno's future academic flair and leadership potential is further substantiated by acceptances for the London School of Economics and also Amherst in the USA. Additionally, he has made the waiting-list for Williams, Cornell and University of Chicago, all of them with financial aid which is no mean feat for an international student. The London School of Economics is currently his first choice.
