Tanishq Abraham, a native of Sacramento in California, has been accepted to University of California (UC) Davis and received a regents scholarship to UC Santa Cruz. He is yet to decide in which university he will enroll.
"I think I'll be 18 when I get my MD (medical degree)," Abraham was quoted as saying by CBC Sacramento television station yesterday.
Abraham will be a junior transfer student when he enrolls in either UC Davis or UC Santa Cruz.
Creating a record of sorts, he surprised one and all by graduating from a California college with three associate degrees in maths, science and foreign language studies last year at the age of 11.

Abraham graduated from American River College in Sacramento alongside 1,800 students last year. He said that he wanted to become the President of the United States.
Home-schooled since the age of seven, he passed a state exam in March in 2014 that certified he had met the appropriate academic standards to receive his high school diploma. His achievement last year had earned the attention of Obama - who had sent Abraham a congratulatory letter.
Abraham joined MENSA, the prominent high IQ society, when he was only four-years-old. His mother, Taji Abraham, said he has always been ahead of the class.
He said some of the students at the college "were intimidated" by him but a lot of others "were really happy" to have a kid in their classes. He graduated with three associate degrees from the college.
"Lots of professors, they didn't really want me in their classes because I was too young," he said.
Finally, a professor agreed and it didn't take long for Abraham to become the top student.
Abraham's parents had migrated to the US from Kerala.
