Per THE ROOT
Four years ago, Saheela Ibraheem stepped onto the campus of Harvard University, a freshman in college at only 15 years old.

After skipping the sixth and ninth grades, Ibraheem received a near-perfect score on the SAT and was accepted to 13 prominent colleges, including several Ivy League schools. She was once named one of the world’s smartest teenagers.

Being a young college student didn’t faze her or her classmates, except when she needed to buy medicine or wanted to get into an R-rated movie, she says. “Being at Harvard has been the most amazing experience,” she told The Root. “I am constantly surrounded by passionate people, from whom I have learned so much.”

Set to graduate this year, Ibraheem, now 19, is studying neurobiology and hopes to one day become a professor.

In her junior year, Ibraheem served on the board of the Harvard Islamic Society as vice president. She speaks Arabic, Spanish and Latin, and loves to listen to music, play logic puzzles and read manga.
