In the video, Kandi filmed the exact moment Riley received her acceptance letter and said NYU was her daughter's "first choice" school. "Well, I feel ecstatic," Riley said in the video. "I mean, it was the only school I really even wanted to go to. I only even thought of applying to other schools as backup plans. That was the only school in my mind. So just to see that I got in and it's for sure and I can just go and be on my path, I'm very excited."
