Oh, you are in a smaller school. Hmm... I dunno if my school is that competitive; this year's class is just freakish at SATs. I know what you mean about people's response to your score -- I got a 2390, randomly, in the beginning of the school year (November) and everyone was like "whaaat" and approaching me in the hallways and stuff. I guess before this year no one had really done that well. Since then, though, four others have gotten above 2300 (and that one girl got a 2400; alas, I'm no longer the best! But it wasn't her first time, so HA.)
It's funny what you said about the 2270 kid (I love how we're referring to people by SAT scores); the first person on my list got a 2280 the first time he took it and I'd describe him the same way as you described yours: probably smarter than I am, and definitely more articulate.
After all this talk: for the record, I don't consider SAT scores very representative of intelligence. They just happen to be a part of my academic description of people.
Really, the more I think about it, the more impossible it becomes to assess intelligence. There are just so many factors to be taken into account!
