STUDENT STORY

Isaac Daudelin
‘14, a biology major from Hackettstown,
is graduating from NJIT in three years with a 4.0 grade-point average and a
full ride to the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, where he will pursue a
M.D./Ph.D.  joint program, offered to
only the top students in the nation. He’s accomplished all this never having
attended a formal elementary or high school: Isaac was homeschooled, like all
nine of his siblings, four of whom attend or have attended the Albert Dorman
Honors College. Read more about Isaac at: http://www.njit.edu/features/student/isaac-daudelin.php.
