At 19 years old, Schlitz is about to become the youngest African American to graduate law school, according to a news release from the university.
Taylor Schlitz was accepted into nine different law schools across the country when she was 16 — but she chose to attend Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law.
Her path to law school wasn't conventional.
By age 16, she had her undergraduate degree from Texas Woman's University and was headed to law school.

At 17, she was one of the youngest delegates at the DNC that year. »
