Too arrogant...

Not me, unfortunately. I would say it's a toss-up between the genius Suzuki-trained Asian violinist who's three years ahead in math and the kid in geometry class last year who always showed the teacher an alternate way to solve a problem. The violinist is normal and well-liked, but the kid in my geometry class is socially awkward. He always looks so lonely.

What do you mean by smartest?

Highest SAT score? Best GPA? Brightest? All?

SAT for my year would be one of my close friends with a 2290 (two years ago and this year a senior graduated with 2340s). If you want to know about all of my friends/family, two of my cousins got high 2300s (they are sophomores in college) and one of my friends recently got a perfect score.

Best GPA would be a girl I sit next to in Calc who has a 4.0 in the toughest classes at my school. She stays up studying until 2 or 3 every night, but also is involved in sports all year around. When she's not in sports, she's working as a lifeguard. SUPER hard worker and SUPER driven to get an A.

Brightest I would say is someone my age who went to college after sophomore year. But currently at my high school I would say are some of my computer/programmer friends. They are VERY deep thinkers and excellent problem solvers. GPA isn't 4.0, but they certainly are smarter (depends on your definition) than high SAT scorers & 4.0 students)

In terms of achievements, I guess I'd have to admit that I feel I'm strongest from my school. You can read more about me here:

How would you rate me? (Shootin' for Stanford, UPenn, Claremont McKenna, Yale)

The most understanding person, who is very empathetic and always knows what to say to make you feel better when you're down or freaking out, is quiet and super modest. She's a very nice person, but she has awfully low self-esteem. Her class rank isn't that high, and she feels like she's dumb (which she definitely isn't) because she isn't in honors classes.

The person with the best grades is this guy who's one of the youngest students in our grade (he missed the cut-off for being in the next grade by, like, one day). He's really kind of haughty and very sarcastic. I don't like him much, but he's all right. He can be friendly, too. His rank is #1, of course. I don't know how he gets A+s in every class.

Intelligencewise, theres a kid in my class who is very sexcellent at math. He is a sophomore in a mostly junior math class (Alg II/Trig H) and he has received one of the highest standardized math tests in the entire state. He doesn't come off as too intelligent, because his common sense is questionable and he really doesn't know about the workings of the real world, but he is good at math. His parents sheltered him, he has led a classical sheltered mormon-kid life. He's real cute though lol

As far as being intelligent and having an over all good personality (plus knowing how the world works and not being ignorant) is my best friend David. He is extremely intelligent, though he isn't taking all AP's with me (he's taking honors) he is still a person I highly respect.

ROFL TYPO!!!!!!
Probably the most flattering way ever to describe someone's math skills.

The smartest kid in my son's class has been in the same class since they were 3yrs old, pre-school. He got not only 5 but got the highest score in Calc BC in 9th grade. By now he is almost finished with all the math courses that a top local university offers. By now he has taken more than 6 AP's all 5. He is not Asian.

Its not a typo, I like the word sexcellent

I don't really know who is actually the "smartest" kid in my school so to say. There is a bunch of all Honors students but amongst them, I don't know who is the smartest.

asian male, 16 y/o soon to be senior, 2380/36 first try no prep in sophmore year, taking 7 ap's next year. The calc teacher is trying to get him to skip senior year because he thinks he will be wasting his time.

I feel like an idiot with only 5 APs next year and a 2100.

thelittlemermaid · 05-25-2008, 12:24 PM

The smartest person in my school? Might be in my grade, really uptight, has a weird schedule, and does a lot of leadership stuff and community service and has a job. It's a female, and she's in all the honors classes.

Second smartest might be the freshman kid in my Spanish class who has a flair for grammar and...everything else except sports...

ttan · 05-26-2008, 01:33 AM

aisgzdavinci- I am so with you...(I have the same stats too)

That 16 yr old guy is a beast...

Ever wonder what genes are responsible? (and about the Nature v. Nurture concept?) o.O

razoredsuitcase · 05-27-2008, 10:24 PM

validictorian is going to columbia, really nice, kinda mousy, a little on the shy side, always in the dean's office helping him or else just studying, all AP's/Honors classes, did a prestigious internship with a lab this year. that's about it.

salu. is also nice. i'm close friends with her. i've heard from people who don't really know her (such as the junior who sits next to me in band) that she seems snobby, on the quiet side sometimes, really active in campaining for obama, loves government, going to yale, studying poli sci, amazing at playing clarinet, very close with her mom (extremely gilmore girls), goes to parties with us, but never drinks.
