The 4-foot-7, 75-pound child prodigy became the youngest student ever to attend Texas Christian University in Fort Worth when classes started last week. Carson is majoring in physics and hopes to one day be a quantum physicist.
Carson said he got some attention when he first walked into his classes.
“People definitely noticed,” he told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (http://bit.ly/15uQyYV ). “There was definitely some whispering in the back of the class.”
But being the center of attention isn’t a new thing for Carson.
He was 5 in the eighth grade. He graduated in May from a private Grapevine high school as co-valedictorian. He scored 1770 on his SAT.
“It was actually fun graduating,” said Carson, who lives in Southlake, about 20 miles northeast of Fort Worth.
