<p>Crablover dude, have you ever took the AIME? Knowledge alone isn’t going to get you very far on the AIME at all, once again at a certain point natural intelligence takes over. You seem to think all people have an equal IQ, and that’s dumb. Also, how does a good SAT II mean you deserved a good grade, you said yourself you did well on history witout ever taking the whole class. I did well on US History and I goofed off in the class but studied from a Barron’s book 3 nights before the test.</p>
<p>Somebody in the top 10% should be scoring more than 1300, even Berkeley’s bottom quartile who score much less than 1300 are in the top 10% of their high school, this proves they come from crappy high schools. </p>
<p>“way more people with 1500+ at berkeley than NYU”-How so, NYU’s average is higher and the top quarter is the same you say, so this goes against standard bell curve distribution. Do you have any evidence or are you just Berkeley ■■■■■■■■?</p>
