19, 21-year-old Siblings Graduate with Ph.Ds

<p>What an inspiration story for those people who believe a obtaining a Ph.D is difficult. If these two young women can do it, other people by putting in the effort can.</p>

<p>thats really cool! good for them they decided to graduate so early. Obtaining a Ph.D at such a young age is really nice.</p>

<p>i wouldnt say they are geniuses, but rather started learning at a young age :)</p>

<p>i'd say what's the rush.</p>

<p>I have no problem with maybe skipping a year or two, but I think before you start college you should at least hit puberty.</p>

<p>Meh... I for one would feel very uncomfortable being a 20 year old and teaching 25 year olds... and would also have a hard time respecting a prof who was younger than me...</p>

<p>wow! [ 10 charac.]</p>

<p>I think that's special circumstances. To say if the sisters can do it anyone can is not setting realistic goals.</p>

<p>They say this and I think it sums up the article</p>

<p>"I think we've been given valuable opportunities, and we found ourselves in very fortunate circumstances." </p>

<p>Not everyone can have the opportunity and the will to do it.</p>

<p>Not everyone can achieve what the young women have, but given the opportunities, it can be done.</p>

<p>Dear GOD! I barely survived one of my finals today and these two girls who have their Ph. D. I feel like I'm a moron.</p>

<p>^Yes, CC can make one fee that way. Don't worry, your not.</p>

<p>Not only that - both have gotten professorships at the University of Rochester's Simon business school</p>

<p>Could be an inspiration for anyone, really. </p>

<p>However, I don't think it challenges the notion that obtaining a PhD is difficult. These gifted young women still took 5 years to do it.</p>
