If you Google “child genius,” you’ll likely come up with a photo of young Carson, who is starting his Freshman year at Texas Christian University. “I’m taking calculus, physics, history and religion.

So exactly how did Carson make it to college in 11 short years, you ask? He was co-valedictorian of his senior class. He scored a 1770 on his SAT. He speaks Mandarin Chinese and just so happens to play the piano. Now he is studying to become a quantum physicist.

If Carson graduates in 4-5 years as expected, he will claim a college degree before he even gets his driver’s license.
