Most people attend college when they're 18, right? Well not Jeremey Shuler. Shuler started college at an Ivy League school in Ithaca, New York this past August. But wait. There's more. He is only 12! Shuler is the youngest student on record to attend this Ivy League School.
Shuler has been studying Calculus since he was six years old and reading books all on his lonesome, in English and Korean, since he was two years old, and by the time he was 15 months he knew the whole alphabet. With Schuler's fast learning ability, his parents thought it was pointless to enroll him in any school, so they decided to home-school him. He was home-schooled through Texas-Tech University Independent School district, where he was able to strive through special math courses. Schuler took the SAT when he was 10 years old, scoring in the 99.6 percentile of all of the college-bound seniors in the year 2014. He also took a variety of AP Exams, which enabled him to earn seven college credits.
Schuler now has his high school diploma and is enrolled at Cornell, where his parents stay and support him 100%. He wants to major in applied engineering and physics and wants to minor in mathematics. Once he graduates from college, at the age where most of his former classmates will be starting college, he plans to pursue a career in academia. The Dean of Cornell Engineering, Lance Collins, says "if his brain power keeps growing, he'll be solving Einstein-level math equations by the time he's actually college age."
In order for Schuler to be doing what he is doing, the school required for his parents to move to New York and support him all of the way. Luckily, his parents' job have an office out of New York, so all of the pieces were able to fall into place perfectly.
