12-Year-Old High Schooler On His Way To Ivy League College

Twelve-year-old Jeremy Shuler is not the average high school graduate.

That's because Shuler has already received his diploma from Texas Tech University Independent School District, according to Texas Tech Today. He now plans to take his studies to Cornell University.

"Early on we realized Jeremy wasn't really ordinary," Harrey Shuler, Jeremy's mother, told Texas Tech Today in an interview.

And the young graduates accomplishments are already staggering. Jeremy could read Korean at just 18 months and began working on a high school curriculum at eight-years-old. In 2014, Jeremy took the SAT exams and placed in the 99.6 percentile compared to all college-bound seniors.

Cornell University accepted the not-yet-teenager contingent upon his parents move to Ithaca so Jeremy could live at home. His parents, both aerospace engineers, agreed and were happy the school took a chance on such a young boy.

Similar to his parents, Jeremy plans to major in applied and engineering physics with a minor in mathematics.

While most students hope to graduate college by 21, Jeremy hopes to have his doctorate degree by then.
