Jimmy Chilimigras graduated summa cum laude with his Juris Doctor (JD) from Loyala University College of Law in New Orleans last week, adding a third degree to his already impressive resume. The 18-year-old from Mississippi became the youngest person in the state to earn a law degree. Homeschooled, Jimmy graduated from high school when he was just 12, before earning a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in accounting at 15. Around the same time, he became a CPA, and is believed to be the youngest person in the world to obtain the license. To add to the list long list of achievements, Jimmy ranked in the top 2% of his class after he earned the top grade in 40% of all the courses he took. He entered college as one of the university’s Ignatian Law Scholars and graduated as a William L. Crowe, Sr. Scholar, a distinction given to the top 10% of the graduating class. He says completing five completely distinct course concentration areas while maintaining a summa cum laude GPA is the most intense thing he’s ever done and one he’s most proud of. Jimmy is set to attend Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, pursuing his fourth degree, his Masters of Law in taxation, and is expected to receive his fourth degree by the age of 20.
