Based on the latest FIDE Ratings (January 2009), GM Wesley So's rating has gone up to 2627, or just 73 Elo points away from the 2700 mark.
I guess Wesley would breach the 2700 mark before turning 17 years old.
Right now, Wesley is ranked No.9 in the world's Top 20 Juniors. GM Magnus Carlsen and GM Sergey Karjakin occupied the No.1 and No.2 spots, respectively.
Although Wesley (World Rank No.116, all players and World Rank No.111, active players only) still didn't make it to World's Top 100, he already displayed his top-caliber talent by drawing with GM Shirov (World Rank No.12) and GM Karjakin (No.27) and beating GM Ni Hua (No.26).
Let's see his rating progress:

he earned another 10 ELO points for the just concluded Asian Cup. That theoretically increases his FIDE rating to 2637.
