The Sacramento, California, student had already earned three community college degrees ahead of his acceptance to University of California Davis and University of California Santa Cruz, the Associated Press reported Sunday.

"(Initially,) lots of professors didn’t really want me in their classes because I was too young," he said.

But eventually one professor told Abraham he could attend classes if his mother took the class with him.

"There were times when I had to explain general relativity and special relativity to my mom," Abraham said. His mother is a doctor of veterinary medicine.

Abraham plans on studying biomedical engineering in the fall.

"I think I'll be 18 when I get my M.D.," he said.

As of Sunday, Abraham had not yet decided which university he'll attend, KOVR reported.
