There aren’t many child prodigies in the world, however 11-year-old Carson Huey-You is one of them.
The child superstar wants to become a quantum physicist, scored a 1770 on the SAT and was co-valedictorian of his high school senior class. The youngster is now attending Texas Christian University, the youngest to ever study on campus.
Young Carson will graduate from college at the age of 15 or 16, before he is old enough to even hold a drivers license. The school wouldn’t even allow Carson to apply online because the schools’ website doesn’t have the option of choosing 2002 as the year of someones birth.
Ray Brown, dean of admissions at the university, says Carson was impressive and talented during his college interview. Carson explained that he played piano and even spoke Mandarin Chinese fluently.
“Carson is at a place that will genuinely care about him as a person,” explained Brown when asked about Carson’s attendance at TCU.
Carson’s mother says that she knew Carson was a gifted child shortly after his birth. Her and Carson’s father began reading chapter books to Carson at the age of two, and started the toddler on Kumon math before he was even potty trained.
Because Carson was so brilliant, many schools refused to put the boy genius on their roster. His ability to learn at a quicker pace than other children made institutions turn away from the gifted child.
The 11-year-old was finally admitted to the Accommodated Learning Academy in Grapevine, Texas and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in May.
Even though Carson will be raking in more cash than most adults before he’s 19, he still loves to engage in child-like activities. He says that he loves online video gaming and watching movies like Star Wars. His favorite Jedi from the famous film is Master Windu.
Wow! His parents must be swollen with pride
