At just 2 years old, Alex Beach began reading textbooks.
His mother, Melinda Beach, knew it was time to take him to get an intelligence test.

The Forsyth County mother recalled how the examiners asked her son to select two playing cards from a variety spread out across the floor.

Alex Beach named the "2" and the "5," receiving cooing, baby-like praise from the testers.

Melinda Beach said her son then stared at them and began forming more impressive number combinations and mathematical equations.

Alex Beach will be the youngest student to attend the college since at least 1997, NGCSU computerized records show.
