12 year-old to study medicine in Mexico

17:11 H | Topics: Children - Education - Mexico

A "super cerebro" -- a real-life Doogie Howser -- has emerged in the Mexican state of Puebla: a 12-year old named Andrew Almazán just finished high school and is off to study medicine and psychology at the university level.

The University of the Americas in Puebla announced today that they have accepted little Andrew, and that he has received a grant which covers all of his costs, including providing a home on campus where he can live with his parents.

The university has also created a special program for him given his young age, which for now would not require him to perform autopsies or dissections.
