A 12-year-old student will add to his three college degrees by attending one of two California Universities he has been accepted to, The Associated Press reports.
Tanishq Abraham, of Sacramento, received acceptances to the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the University of California, Davis. He plans to study bio-engineering.
“I’m pretty excited,” Tanishq told NBC News on Saturday. “I’ve been waiting for this for quite some time now. I’ll finally be working on my bachelor’s. It’s very exciting.”
Abraham already has his life planned out: He’ll start out as a doctor, then a medical researcher, and will finally end up as president of the United States. “I think if he puts his mind to it, he can achieve whatever he wants,” his father, Bijou Abraham, told NBC News. “We’re supportive of whatever he wants to do.” It doesn’t matter which school Abraham chooses — because of his credits earned in community college, he’ll enter as a junior. He’s not worried about the other college students accepting him.
“Based on my experiences with ARC, at first, they’re a little confused,” he said. “But once they get used to me, they don’t treat me that differently. We’re all just friends and have fun.”
