I thought Intel was science fair for High School students? Two yrs of university level physics could give him a slight advantage over the other HS students. Not that I have a problem with it, but it's interesting.

P.S. The comment about genius being made not born reminded me of Malcolm Gladwell's talk where he postulates that 10,000 hrs devotion to something/anything (guitar, math, etc.) is what's needed to be the expert/genius in an area. This is poorly re-stated but maybe you'll get the idea.
