High school senior Carolina Williams was accepted to Yale after penning an essay about an unconventional topic — Papa John's pizza.

"When I saw that the prompt was 'Write about what you love to do,' my very first thought was order pizza from Papa John's," Williams told Business Insider on Wednesday. "I order pizza from Papa John's once a week — it's my absolute favorite! I thought for a while about if I should actually do that and if they would take it seriously, but I decided to just write it because it was so easy and my passion came through."

Earlier in May, Williams tweeted about her achievement, with screen shots of her essay, her letter of admission, and an email from a pizza-loving Yale admissions officer.

"I laughed so hard on your pizza essay. I kept thinking that you are the kind of person that I would love to be best friends with," an admissions officer wrote to Williams. "I want you to know that every part of your application stood out in our process and we are thrilled to be able to offer you a spot at Yale."

Yale's admissions rate for the class of 2021 was just 6.9%, according to its website, making it one of the most difficult colleges to get into in the US.

Williams is turning down Yale's invitation to join the class of 2021 and plans to attend Auburn University in the fall, allowing the Tennessee teen to stay in the South and avoid chilly New Haven, Connecticut winters.

Papa John's was quick to congratulate Williams on her achievement.
