From 'Sheldon' to 'Doogie,' FHS Alum's Academic Prowess Like A TV Show

FARMINGTON, CT — A Farmington High School graduate from 2021 is already about to receive her college degree this year.

And she's only 17.

The Farmington School System reported that Savi Agarwal, an FHS alum and former Farmington resident, will get a degree from Georgia Tech.

And, while her academic heroics probably qualify her for a spot on the "Big Bang Theory," she's not done learning. And given her age, she has plenty of time to do so.

And, when she's done studying, she might end up like another famous young genius from television's past.

Only her story is real.

This summer, Argarwal is already heading off to Honduras on a medical mission trip, something that will put her major to good use, which is biomedical engineering.

She will officially graduate with her degree in December, according to Fox 5 out of Atlanta, Ga.

Late last week, she was the subject of a Fox 5 report out of Atlanta, Ga., which chronicled her remarkable educational journey from Farmington to the Peach state.

She said Georgia Tech would not allow for on-campus housing for 15-year-olds, so her family relocated south when she went to college.

According to Fox 5, Argarwal aspires to become a medical doctor, but not just any medical doctor, but one who serves in a geographic location underserved by quality medical care.

She is going on a trip with other students to deliver donated medical supplies to Honduras, leaving on Saturday, according to Fox 5.

As for her next step?

Once she gets her degree this year, Argarwal is planning to go to either Harvard or Stanford University medical schools, according to Fox 5.

That would allow for her to transition from a real-life "Sheldon Cooper" to a real-life "Doogie Howser."

Only her script hasn't been finished yet.
