Former child genius graduates from medical school at age 21 (1 Viewer)

[WhoDat9to12]

A former child genius and Los Angeles resident who entered medical school at the age of 12 is graduating this week as the youngest student to receive a medical degree from the University of Chicago.
Born in Portland, Ore., Sho Yano, 21, has an IQ above 200 and spent most of his early years in California — attending the Mirman School for Gifted Children in Los Angeles for a few years and getting home-schooled by his mother.
Yano, who has already completed his Ph.D. in molecular genetics and cell biology, was composing music by age 4, and scored 1,500 out of 1,600 possible points on the SAT by age 8. At 9, he attended Chicago’s Loyola University, where he graduated in three years, summa *** laude, but still played with his pet rabbit and delighted in reading children’s books, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Does he also communicate telepathically with brain bugs? If not, I'm not impressed.

I don't understand. Do you think medical school is easy or do you think pediatric neurology isn't a high enough calling for a "genius."

I'm a bit biased but I've always felt that medicine can be a pretty noble use of ones talents.

I wish he had chosen to be an OB/GYN . I'm sure the looks on his patients faces would be worth seeing.
