  • At 15, Corinne Weeks skipped the last half of high school to start college.
  • Three years later, the Ohio native is about to graduate with a major in applied mathematics.
  • Nine schools accepted Corinne with free tuition and housing stipends, worth more than $ 2.3 million in total, according to an estimate by the Cincinnati Enquirer. 


Corinne Weeks rejects any characterization of herself as a
 “math genius.” But looking at her background, you can see why some might be tempted to call her that.

Corinne skipped her last two years of high school in Ohio to go straight to college at age 15, enrolling at Mary Baldwin University’s Program for the Exceptionally Gifted in Virginia. After three years at the women’s college, she has a 4.0 GPA and will graduate in May with a degree in applied mathematics.
