For us it’s the As in the SPM, very exceptional cases sometimes, like Adi Putra. There are geniuses out there, in terms of theory, who receive degrees in advance. As for this one girl, she hasn’t received her high school diploma yet, but she will be receiving her Master’s degree, in a month. And of course, because she hasn’t graduated from school yet, she is currently 17 of age!
Let me introduce to you, Stephanie Mui.
She's getting a master's BEFORE she finishes high school ... meet Mason's youngest graduate, Stephanie Mui, age 17.
This brings up the question: Does she even have her Bachelor’s degree?
The answer is: yes, it is called Bachelor of Science, and she also has Associate of Science degree!
According to Nextshark, she was in fourth grade when she passed the College Board’s exam for calculus. She also started taking college courses right after she completed fifth grade, at Northern Virginia Community College. She also gained her Associate’s degree at the age of 13 (most of us would only be starting our secondary school!) and when she gained her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from George Mason (the tweet above!) while also schooling in Oakton High School!
Amazing, right?
She plans to continue with her Ph.D in New York University, after completing high school.
I personally would like to take a break by then, but you can see that her passion lies in maths!
She wouldn’t want to be called a genius, because she prefers being seen as diligent. You think that she studies in the weekends, but she keeps in touch with people she loves during the weekends. Mui seems to maintain a very balanced life, and seriously, you go girl!
