She was accepted into the Burroughs Wellcome Scholars Early Assurance Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Heersink School of Medicine, the school confirmed in a statement to CNN.


The program is a partnership between the medical school and HBCU's across Alabama, and it provides early acceptance to the students who meet the requirements for acceptance and matriculation, according to their website.

She's currently a student at both Arizona State University and Oakwood University earning two separate undergraduate degrees in biological sciences,

beyond books smarts, there is also emotional maturity. This gives new meaning to “baby doc”. She will have an atypical college and medical school experience at 13yrs and not able to do the typical fun & stupid college stuff.

But heck being done with school by 18ys (including Dr. Program) pretty awesome.
