Maliq Barnes, a graduating senior at International High School of New Orleans, was accepted to more than 170 colleges and received more than $9 million in scholarships, breaking the previous record of $8.7 million.

He has a 4.98 GPA, plays track and basketball, speaks fluent Spanish, and serves as the National Honors Society executive president.

Maliq graduated early by combining his sophomore and junior years into one with dual enrollment at Southern University in New Orleans. Then he applied to over 200 schools.

After a Fox News host compared him to Superman, Maliq was quick to deflect and give praise to God and honor his parents and school counselor, Denise James.

"One thing I'm going to say... I know everybody not going to be like me, not everybody going to have the same goals, dreams, aspirations. I would just want to say, keep God in the midst and whatever those dreams are that you do have, make it a priority, make it your determination, and make it your business to prioritize it and put it first," he told the outlet.

"I give glory and honor to God, definitely," Maliq told Good Morning San Diego. "I thank [Him] for everything He's doing. He kind of keep me through, keep it going even when I don't want to...some days it's gonna be harder than others. Everything not always going to be easy. I just thank God for the determination, the diligence to keep going and for waking me up every day."

Maliq said his parents always taught him to keep God first and prioritize education.
