A 16-Year-Old College Valedictorian Mikaela Fudolig
Mikaela Fudolig entered the University of the Philippines when she was just 11 years old. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics at age 16 and was the valedictorian of her graduating class. She offered some wise advice to her former classmates saying, “Instead of taking the road less traveled, the new graduates should make new roads.” After graduation, she did just that and received a Ph.D. at the same university while working on staff as a professor. She was also a Fulbright Scholar for her analysis on behavioral economics at the University of California Irvine. The now-26-year-old has returned to school to study law.
