13 year-old Alena Wicker, a college junior, has been accepted to UAB’s Heersink School of Medicine.

"Admitted to Arizona State University and Oakwood University at age 12, Wicker has already completed two and a half years’ worth of courses in just 12 months and has no intention of slowing down. Now the college junior is celebrating her early acceptance into the Heersink School of Medicine."

Space ship Alena built with Legos. Alena has built the Taj Mahal, the Disney castle, the Millennium Falcon, the Apollo 11 rover and a NASA rocket with Legos

Wow, good for her and cute as a button to boot.  She is one smart cookie!

Congratulations to Ms. Wicker - a real-life Doogie Howser!  (By the way, for those who don't know, UAB = University of Alabama at Birmingham.)

Wonderfully refreshing news these days!

@ValuSkr    Exactly where my mind went and I have no idea why.  I don't believe I ever saw more than a few mintes of that show!

The world is so lucky to have her -  and she is so fortunate to live where girls and women qualify to be educated!

Her patients will be very lucky to have her as their medical professional. Wonder what area she will choose to specialize in, maybe even more than one.

@RetRN  I read that her dream is to become a viral immunologist.

Not only is she a genius but beautiful as well.  She has achieved more in 13 short years than some people do in a lifetime.  Wishing her great success.
