America's prestigious Yale University says yes to Emma Watson. The "Harry Potter" star is offered a place at the university. The actress herself has broken the news, writing, "I got into Yale!"

It is not yet known what Emma will be studying if she accepts the place. But the 18-year-old beauty revealed last month that she was also offered a place studying English Literature at the U.K.'s famous Cambridge University.

"Jodie Foster did it, Natalie Portman did it. I think it's entirely possible to juggle university with filming," the British actress recently said. "I actually think going to university will make me a better actress."

Emma continued, "The experience of living like that, working to deadlines, living with other students. It's all the things I want. There are actresses who don't know about things like doing their own laundry and getting a bus. I'm not going to be like that." She furthermore added, "For me, this is just the beginning. I've only shown a little bit of what I can do. There is so much more to come."
