CHICAGO -- Sho Yano heads to school with his lunch in a brown paper bag, like many other 12-year-olds across the country.

But Sho isn't in junior high. He's a first-year medical school student at the University of Chicago, where he's the youngest ever to attend one of the university's professional schools.



If he weren't also getting his PhD along with his medical degree, he'd be on course to become the youngest person to graduate from any medical school.

Sho graduated in three years from Chicago's Loyola University, summa cum laude. But for him, going to school is about learning as much as he can.

Sho says he chose medicine because he wants to help people. He says he'd like to find a treatment for cancer.

I read that article in the paper this morning, absouletly AMAZING isn't it??? I can't even IMAGINE.....a 12 year old with an IQ of 200+!!

The article stated his mother was taking piano lessons when he was four, she got frustrated, walked away from the piano to take a break, I don't recall the piece of music she was trying to play, seems it was Baach.......anyways, she was AMAZED when she returned, "HE" was sitting at the piano playing that piece like never before, like I said, he was only "4" years old too!

This is amazing. I bet his parents are thrilled.

Absolutely amazing! It would be wonderful if he could find a treatment for cancer.

OMG - a real-life Doogie Howser, MD!

I say, more power to him!

Watch out Sho Yano, Dustin is right behind you!!!!

The only drawback is....is that he will never have a real childhood. That, to me is very disturbing.

At this rate he can retire at 30, and be a child for the rest of his life.. LOL, I know what you mean blizzard, but what an oppertunity

OMG that is amazing for a 12 yr old to start Med School!!!!
