Noah was absolutely overjoyed learning that he got into one of the best college in the U.S. The actor sported a backwards hat and a blue sweatshirt from Wharton School, which is UPenn’s prestigious business school, when he got the great news. His parents and sister surrounded him and held his hand as he anxiously looked on the computer for his application results. Once they learned Noah got accepted, Karine, Mitchell, and Chloe all jumped up and down hugging Noah, who was screaming and similarly jumping in excitement.

At the end of the clip, Noah, Karine, and Chloe continued jumping up and down in a group hug, while proud dad Mitchell went up to the computer to get another look at his son’s acceptance letter. The heartfelt video was played to a slow version of “I Lived” by One Republic. “#UPENN2026 BABY💙❤️,” Noah proudly wrote in the caption of his TikTok post. What an accomplishment!
