Cornell University welcomes 12-year-old Texas boy as the youngest student to attend the Ivy League school
He’s not your usual Ivy Leaguer.
When he begins classes at Cornell University next week, Jeremy Shuler, 12, will become the youngest student on record to attend the upstate New York university.
The Texas pre-teen — an academic prodigy from Grand Prairie — graduated from Texas Tech University Independent School District this year, and was accepted into Cornell’s engineering program.
“He is a very advanced student for his age who already has demonstrated an incredible ability to learn at the collegiate level,” Cornell Engineering Dean Lance Collins said in a news release.
What's it take for a woman to succeed in auto engineering?
Jeremy’s parents have already sold their Grand Prairie home in order to live in Ithaca and take care of their son while he’s in school. Jeremy was accepted under the condition he live with his parents.
“While this is highly unusual, we feel that with the strong support of his parents — who will be moving here to provide him a place to live and study — and his unusual talents and thirst for knowledge, he will be able to thrive as an engineering student and take advantage of all that Cornell has to offer,” Collins said.
Jeremy was always advanced academically. His mother, Harrey Shuler, said the her son could read in two languages — English and Korean — by the time he was 2 years old.
In 2014, at 10, he took the SATs, and scored higher than 99.6% of that year’s test-takers. He also earned 800s on the math, physics, and chemistry SAT subject tests, the Washington Post reported.

Baptism | Religion & Ethics
This image from Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly highlights the baptism ceremony and how it is practiced in different Christian denominations. In the Roman Catholic Church, baptizing infants is essential because it represents the forgiveness of original sin, conversion to the faith, and a relationship with God in the afterlife. In Baptist churches, baptism is observed by adults when they are ready to identify as followers of Jesus Christ and profess the faith. The image also shows how the process of baptism varies. Some denominations sprinkle water on worshippers, while others immerse them.

LE BÉBÉ A 2 MOIS
Le médecin qui tient cet embryon vivant dans ses mains a été bouleversé par ce qu’il a découvert !
Cette photo a été prise à l’Université du Minnesota par le photographe Robert Wolfe en 1972. Elle fut prise pendant une intervention chirurgicale pour une grossesse extra-uterine. Personne ne peut nier l’humanité de cet embryon à ce stade précoce.
Un docteur présent pendant l’opération partagea plus tard ce témoignage :
« Il y a des années, alors que j’administrais un anesthésiant pour l’interruption d’une grossesse extra-utérine (à 2 mois), on m’a remis ce que je crois être le plus petit être humain vivant jamais vu. La poche embryonnaire était intacte et transparente. A l’intérieur de la poche se trouvait un petit être humain de sexe masculin nageant extrêmement vigoureusement dans le liquide amniotique, alors qu’il était attaché en haut par le cordon ombilical.
Ce petit humain était parfaitement développé avec des doigts, des pieds et des orteils longs et effilés. Il était presque transparent au niveau de la peau. Les veines et les artères fragiles allaient jusqu’au bout de ses doigts. Le bébé était extrêmement vivant et ne ressemblait pas aux dessins et aux photos des « embryons » que j’avais étudiés.
Lorsque que la poche s’est ouverte le petit humain a perdu immédiatement la vie et pris l’apparence de ce que l’on reconnaît être un embryon à ce stade de développement, extrémités émoussées, etc. »
