  • Cindy Crawford is noted supermodel who was valedictorian in her high school and had a full chemical engineering scholarship at Northwestern University. Spent a semester there before leaving for New York and a modeling career.
  • Sharon Stone, who reported that she has one of the highest IQ's (154) of females the film industry, told Playboy magazine (in reference to her high school days): “I had a high IQ and was predisposed to do technical things, science, engineering, math. I’m sure a career as a chemical engineer would have been appropriate for me, though my personality is more fitting for a lawyer.”[1]
