<p>how do you people post on CC with doing ALL of that crap… :/</p>

<p>eye-yiyiyi my 4.0 will only get me into my state university…</p>

<p>O well…</p>

<p>maybe im not good :(</p>

<p>but then again I know I am smart…</p>

<p>This thread should be renamed the best ego smashers ever :)</p>

<p>^lol leave that honor for the us physics team bios or the first academic team =)</p>

[chemmybear]

<p>LOL i love reading the us physics team bios (not))</p>

[dashboard]

<p>indeed, getting a 2390 on the SAT is a failure</p>

[dashboard]

<p>oh yeah, the first academic team is no more. YAAAAAAAAAY!!!</p>

[Alluric]

<p>This thread makes me sad when I look at my meager accomplishments :(</p>

<p>

^lol leave that honor for the us physics team bios or the first academic team =)

</p>

<p>Seriously. Those bios = CC chance threads on 'roids.</p>

[DataBox]

<p>Haha some bios on the US Physics team page make me want to explode, they are crazy</p>

[CrystalProphecy]

<p>I think I recognize the girl from MSJ. My friend from that school was talking about the girl who went to a math olympiad in china and won bronze…so it’s probably the same girl.</p>

[jamesford]

<p>I recall reading that bio on the US Physics Team page. Surprise surprise.</p>

<p>I know for a fact that he is real. A few months back, I called him a ■■■■■ on the Yale site before SCEA admit results. We exchanged messages, and he turned out to be real… He got into Yale early action…</p>

@Wikipedia

Tao exhibited extraordinary mathematical abilities from an early age, attending university level mathematics courses at the age of nine. He is one of only two children in the history of the Johns Hopkins’ Study of Exceptional Talent program to have achieved a score of 700 or greater on the SAT math section while just 8 years old (he scored a 760). [9] In 1986, 1987, and 1988, Tao was the youngest participant to date in the International Mathematical Olympiad, first competing at the age of ten, winning a bronze, silver, and gold medal respectively. He won the gold medal when he just turned thirteen and remains the youngest gold medallist in the tournament’s history. At age 14, Tao attended the Research Science Institute.

<p>-reads stats-
-dies-
omg. Okay I’m willing to believe he’s real, but just curious, when you exchanged messages with him, how did he persuade you he wasn’t a ■■■■■?</p>

[jamesford]

<p>This cracked me up (Physics team bio)</p>

<p>

Due to a life of mediocrity, I should say I was extremely surprised to receive an invitation to participate in this exceptional training camp near the end of my sophomore year

</p>

<p>which is proceeded by this</p>

Experience
Delaware Math League, Math League Press, Science Olympiad, AMC, AIME, USAMO, HiMCM, MCM, TEAMS, USABO semis, various Academic Bowl Tournaments, 2006 & 2007 US Physics Team, 2007 IPhO Silver
