Talk:Eugenie Carys de Silva

Wrong information

edit

This article has numerous problems and incorrect information. Article states: "At the age of 15, de Silva completed a PhD in Politics from the University of Leicester, the youngest to do so." Eugenie Carys de Silva has NOT EARNED a PhD. She enrolled at 15 and the articles cited say only that. She then dropped out or was kicked out and instead enrolled in another Master's program. Eugenie's own website says this: https://eugeniedesilva.com/eugenie-carys-de-silva "At fifteen years old, Eugenie began a Ph.D. in Politics (Intelligence Studies – Denial and Deception) at the University of Leicester, England (supervisor: Professor Mark Phythian). At eighteen years old, she began her 3rd graduate degree at the University of Cambridge where she just finished her MPhil in Education, Globalization, and International Development in the Faculty of Education."

Furthermore, a number of the ages for her degrees are wrong. Wikipedia article states: "She graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Intelligence Analysis (summa cum laude) from the American Military University at 11 years old" Her site corrects that: "became the world’s youngest person to graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Intelligence Analysis with a 4.0 GPA (Summa Cum Laude) at the age of fourteen in May of 2013"

Again wrong is the claim "completed a Master's Degree in Intelligence Studies from the Harvard University at 13 years old, the youngest ever to do so." The actual fact: "Eugenie, who is now 16, completed her Master’s in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Legal Studies at Harvard University Division of Continuing Education." https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/press/press-releases/2015/january/leicester-student-becomes-youngest-to-graduate-from-harvard — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.190.197 (talkcontribs) 8.
