Conceited

(see aigiqinf)

Honestly though, I think I can say I'm the smartest in my class of only 75.... soon to be near a class of 50.

I have no idea who the smartest kid in my school is. I do know a couple of very smart people, but not well enough to understand how their minds work :P

All I know is he took ap bio and calc in 10th grade and got 5s on both. Got a near perfect SAT score. I've seen him a few times. He's short.

Oh, at my past school, there was this one girl who took ap chem in 9th grade and got a 5. She skipped a grade level, and she's graduating a year early. She is a national merit semifinalist and has won state drama tournaments. She took four ap classes as a sophomore and is taking seven ap classes right now.

Wow, I need to get a life.

the smartest kids in my class usually understand concepts and make connections before i do

almost all of them (except 1) are pretty laid back

they are nice and don't act arrogantly -which is also nice

they also come up with new ideas during class -things that would take me an hour to come up with

..this all depends on the op's definition of 'smart'. i think the 'smartest' kids in my class are the ones that are innately intelligent without trying too hard -I can't help but feel a bit of jealousy sometimes.

I wouldn't say our #1 is the smartest- she works hard, but I don't think she has any real joy in learning- judging by a few comments she has made. I don't think her personality is really spectacular, but I don't know her well. She's nice like white bread. One great thing about her is that she never cheats, which is a hugely popular thing among top tenners and honors/AP kids.

The person I'd say is truely the smartest is nice to everyone, generally a really fun person, who works hard and is honestly interested in her classes. You seriously can't help but like her. And like #1, she actually has morals. I have serious repsect for people who don't let others mooch off of their work.

We have a few very smart people.
A junior who is leaving next year for top college, loads of APs, photographic memory, etc.
A sophomore in highest math, ap chem, overall brilliant

there's this frosh at our school taking AP Calc BC and AP Physics C.

the val last year took 12 (?) AP tests, got 5's on all of them, and I heard he self-studied AP Spanish and got a 5 on it (he's not a native speaker). He was really social (president of many clubs), had a gf who was the salutatorian, and went to Harvard with his gf (had to reject his dream school, Stanford, which he also got in, to do that). Got into all the Ivies except for 1.

I know two insanely intelligent people in my class who understand extremely quickly and can work without studying. However, they are ranked very low. Most people who know me assume I am the smartest person in my junior class because I am #1, but I am just the hardest working! (Hard work > lazy genius, at least in the real world)
