MEXICO CITY, Mexico (Achieve3000, October 11, 2018). Most 12-year-olds are navigating their way through middle school or transitioning from primary to secondary school. But not Carlos Santamaría Díaz. In August 2018, the kid from Guadalajara, Mexico, started his first year of college!

Carlos is the youngest student ever admitted to the National Autonomous University of Mexico, better known in Mexico as UNAM. The gifted preteen, who says he hopes to find cures for rare diseases someday, is pursuing an undergraduate degree in biomedical physics.

It's unusual to fast forward through middle school and high school. But the move made perfect sense for Carlos. He got bored with public school at an early age. So he turned to the web, where he found the resources to teach himself calculus and physics. By the time he was 9, he had already participated in programs in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, and biology.

Now, having passed UNAM's entrance exam, Carlos is officially a college student, although a bit smaller than most.

School officials said Carlos would be treated like any other student. He would get no special privileges or benefits because of his age. But Carlos did receive some media attention before his first day.

Dwarfed by a large chair, with his feet barely brushing the floor, Carlos participated in a press conference with reporters who were eager to learn more about UNAM's youngest student. Asked if he ever felt isolated because of his intelligence, Carlos' answer was no. And when one reporter wondered if he'd call himself a genius, Carlos laughed out loud and shook his head. "I don't like that word," he said.

Carlos' situation is rare, but he's not the first kid to hear himself being called that word. Jeremy Shuler, another young college student, has likely been called a genius throughout his life. He's certainly been called a child prodigy.

In 2016, 12-year-old Jeremy, who was raised in the city of Grand Prairie in the U. S state of Texas, started his freshman year at New York's Cornell University. Like Carlos, Jeremy became the youngest student that the Ivy League school had on record.

Jeremy, who is the math-loving child of two aerospace engineers, was homeschooled. At age 10, he got top scores on the SAT and Advanced Placement tests in math and science. This proved he was intellectually ready to begin his studies at Cornell's engineering school.

That probably didn't come as a surprise to his parents. They say that Jeremy was always ahead of most kids his age.

"From the beginning, he was physically advanced, very strong," said his mother, Harrey Shuler, in an interview conducted with Jeremy when he was in his first year at Cornell. Shuler, who put her career on hold to teach Jeremy at home, said that her son was paying special attention to letters and numbers at 3 months old. He knew the alphabet at 15 months. He was reading books on his own at 21 months. At that point, he could read in both English and Korean, his mother's native language. When he was 5, he read The Lord of the Rings and Journey Through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics on his own. Enrolling him in the first year of regular school was pointless.

Just seven years later, Jeremy settled into college life. And thanks to his experiences in camps and discussion groups, being around older people wasn't a problem for the young math enthusiast.

"All the kids in math camp were older than me, so I'm used to having older friends. As long as they like math," he said.

"One of my Math Circle friends actually wrote Minecraft for Dummies," Jeremy said, adding that the video game is one of his favorite pastimes, along with reading science fiction.

As for the future, Jeremy plans to keep on learning.

"I want to pursue a career in academia," he said. And who knows? Maybe he and Carlos will both use their brilliant minds to change the world.
