I finished high school at 16 and I did college in three years. It's interesting that paperwork is so onerous these days. I don't even think it's possible to get through school early, at least in America. But back then, if you worked really, really hard and fast, you actually could go fast. It was very uncommon. You took extra courses? I took extra courses.

And to be fair to myself, when I was the youngest person in America at that time, the day that I graduated, there are other people who have done that. There's, I understand, someone who was 22 at a later point, but it is certainly very unusual.

Yes, I did my internship. I did that in Virginia. I had planned at that time to go to law school. I was super interested in health policy and learning as much as I could, just being as academic as I could. And I moved to Virginia for a year, did my internship, and then I zigzagged, and I went to Stanford Law School.

So I did my undergraduate close to home. I grew up in New York. That was City College of New York. I lived at home. That was my parents' preference. I was 16. Right. So... I could drive into the city or take the train into the city. So I was still very protected, I would say. My father was Eastern European, just very protective.

And I finished that by 19, started medical school, went to Chicago, finished my medical studies. But to practice medicine in America at that time, you had to do an internship. So the MD is when you graduate, but the internship is you get your license. How long was the internship? One year. One year. So after that one year, I zigzagged and I went to law school.

The reason was I really wanted to, my vague idea was to fix the healthcare system in America. That's a hard one. I thought a lot of people suggested I should get an MPH. It's very funny. We should return back to that. But it just didn't feel right to me. I said, no, no, let me understand the law. Many of our founding fathers were lawyers. I just wanted to understand it.

So that was what led me to Stanford Law School, which is an incredibly difficult law school to get into. Yeah, right. Very small law school, 147 people. Harvard is about three times the size. So to get into Stanford was amazing. And it was, I would say, the most intellectually interesting years of my life was being at Stanford Law School. So what was your undergraduate degree? What was your major?

Um... You know, I don't even recall. It was some kind of pre-med. It was something pre-med. Okay, so it was mostly scientifically oriented? Yes, yes.
