Yesterday, The College Fix reported on a 14-year-old girl from Tennessee who is headed to Harvard to start on her master’s degree, having already nailed down her B.A.
Today, we have a slightly less astonishing story about a teenage prodigy, but still one that’s pretty impressive:
At 18, Michelle Vaisman has earned dual degrees from UC Berkeley.
The Agoura Hills resident graduated with high honors from UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry with a Bachelor of Science in chemistry. She won a $2,000 award, the Erich O. & Elly M. Saegebarth Prize in Chemistry, and also received a Bachelor of Arts in applied math from the university’s College of Letters and Science.
“Although she is extremely smart, Michelle doesn’t let her success go to her head,” said her grandmother Sandy Alpert. “She is actually a delightfully humble girl.”
Vaisman, a two-time winner of the Cal Alumni Leadership Award at UC Berkeley, will attend Yale University in the fall to work toward a Ph.D. in electrical engineering.
