9-Year Genius Old Begins College

Aiden Wilkins is only nine years old, but he is already a college student. He demonstrated remarkable intelligence while still a toddler, began high school at the age of seven, and is now enrolled in a neuroscience course at Ursinus College in eastern Pennsylvania.

The CBS News affiliate in Philadelphia reports that Aiden is taking this class as part of his long-term goal to become a pediatric neurosurgeon. Although he enjoys typical childhood interests like soccer and video games, Aiden's sights are already set on the very adult challenge of medical school. So far, he's aiming at Johns Hopkins and Princeton.
