I DEFINITELY agree with 1prettykitty. There is this guy who everyone thought (well still thinks) is brilliant. He is some math prodigy and he was ranked in the top 10% during his freshman year. However he is NOT EVEN in the 30th percentile as a senior right now. He was getting some easy A’s as well while this other guy (the current valedictorian) was ranked lower than him and struggling since his freshman English teacher was a TOUGH grader who gave him is lowest grade EVER. Anyways, the valedictorian is taking multivariable calculus while the math prodigy is taking AP Stats… The valedictorian really beat the crap outta everyone because he was doing phenomenally in his junior courses; this young man had produced and maintained a wonderful work ethic from what he has learned in his past years and due to his mistakes and constant failures. The valedictorian is going to be in some prestigious medical program with a >5% acceptance rate. Math whiz…I don’t know where he is going. Another guy, in the top 10, is going to Columbia although he initially failed. So yes, junior year does change things, in a sense. Just keep working. Alright?
