Fudolig passes UP entrance exam for Law.
What is it after graduating from a famous university here in the Philippines? For Mikaela Irene Fudolig, there is more one can do besides from being employed like adding another diploma in her long list of academic achievements.
Fudolig at 16 already earned her bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of the Philippines in 2007. And for a record among her batch, she graduated as summa cum laude with a remarkable general weighted average of 1.009, the highest in her batch.
She was one who became part of an experimental program for gifted children which allowed her to enter college even when she was only 11 years old.
The program was pursued to test the possibility of gifted children entering university without compromising their emotional and social development. Fudolig was held off from public scrutiny and media.
After graduating and excelling in her studies, Fudolig joined the Institute of Physics faculty as she pursued her master’s degree in physics then after her doctoral degree in the same field at the same university.

Fudolig was the youngest student graduating from the University in the recent years and having been named with top honors. And she is one of the only two students who were admitted to the UPD without a high school diploma, and for a record, she did not take the UP College Admission Test because of the special program and endorsement.
