Randall attended Stuyvesant High School where she was the first female captain of the math team and won the Westinghouse Science Talent Search. She earned her BS and PhD from Harvard by age 25 under Howard Georgi. The Stuyvesant-to-Harvard pipeline and her exceptional mathematical ability were key advantages. She later developed the influential Randall-Sundrum model of warped extra dimensions.
