Summary
- A 13-year-old with a 168 IQ will start NYU's master's program.
- He achieved a 1590 SAT score at age 10 and a diploma at 11.
- He will pursue sports management, kinesiology, and biology studies.
A 13-year-old prodigy, Joe Petraro-Hyppolite, is poised to enter a master's program at New York University next fall, significantly outpacing the typical student age of 33. His exceptional intellect, evidenced by an IQ of 168, allowed him to achieve a 1590 on the SAT at just 10 years old and earn a high school diploma by age 11.
Petraro-Hyppolite's upcoming graduate studies will focus on sports management, with additional pursuits in kinesiology and biology. This achievement is particularly noteworthy given his past placement in special education due to a Tourette syndrome diagnosis. He aims to complete his undergraduate degree by May of the following year, eventually aspiring to a career in paleontology.
