13-year-old genius with 'Einstein IQ' to start NYU master's

At just 13, Joe Petraro-Hyppolite is preparing to take a giant academic leap that most people make decades later. The Long Island teenager, who says he has an IQ of 168, has been accepted into a master’s programme at New York University and is set to begin next fall. His reported IQ is higher than the often-cited estimate of around 160 for Albert Einstein, although Einstein never had a documented IQ test.Petraro-Hyppolite is expected to be less than half the age of the average US student beginning a master’s programme. He is currently completing his undergraduate degree at Louisiana State University and plans to graduate in May next year.‘My IQ is 168’Petraro-Hyppolite told CBS News New York that his IQ is 168.
