Kiwi student Arki Hunter has been accepted into New York's Columbia University in the early admissions round - with only 10-15% of students worldwide being accepted at that stage.

Hunter co-founded '12oz', an AI platform tackling NZ's drug and alcohol issues which won her a Crimson Education scholarship and the Deloitte Individual of the Year award. 

Hunter plans to major in sociology and political science at Columbia. 

She joined Andrew Dickens to chat about her career goals, socially conscious businesses, and the brain drain.
