May 20, 2010 — It’s probably premature to declare any 21-year-old a polymath. But Rahul Gorawara is at least a budding polymath, having earned degrees from the University of Virginia in engineering, public policy and economics in four years by taking roughly double the typical class load, thereby demonstrating one quality common to polymaths – the ability to learn and accomplish far more than most people in a given amount of time.
A Jefferson and Rodman scholar, Gorawara earned his bachelor of science in engineering degree with highest distinction, with a triple major in electrical engineering, computer engineering and economics, in just three years.
