Santa Clara University will hold its 172nd commencement ceremony on Saturday, and one graduate already has a job lined up before he is old enough to drive a car.
Although Kairan Quazi is part of the class of 2023, he is also ahead of the class — and in a class of his own.
The 14-year-old is just like all the other students, except his IQ puts him in the 99.9% of intelligence. As a result, he and his parents knew fourth grade would not follow his completion of third. So, Kairan bolted the traditional route and by age nine, he was attending Santa Clara University and majoring in computer science.
Ling soon learned that the "whiz kid" had computer science chops. Kairan eventually took graduate-level courses alongside Ph.D. candidates.
