Child Prodigy To Pursue PhD At Oxford

by Nikhil Sundaram    July 09, 2008

Two siblings in Hong Kong have achieved fame thanks to the brilliance they possess.These child prodigies are set to make a name for themselves in the time to come.

Horatio Boedihardjo became an Oxford undergraduate at 14.He has now been admitted to Oxford University's mathematics doctorate programme making him one of the famed university's youngest students.

The lad believes that this is just a start for him and he has many more achievements in store.He said that he is inspired by people like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates and would try to emulate their successes.

However it seems that Horatio's younger brother March is all set to march forward and overtake him with superior achievements.Last September March became Hong Kong's youngest ever university student at the tender age of just nine, leading the report to dub Horatio Boedihardjo as the "prodigy's brother".March won international fame when he started his Mathematics course at Hong Kong Baptist University,but he had said at that time that he was already bored of the "easy" classes.
