<p>of a super student?(By super I mean rare and possibly non-existent).
Barring society’s definition of a tested “genius”, I would say</p>
<p>: 2400 SAT
800 on All SAT Subject Tests
Valedictorian, 5’s on at least 10 APs
IMO, ICho, IBO, IPhO, IOI Gold Medalist multiple times
Varsity D-1 Athlete
President of numerous clubs
Has a trust fund and performs service projects in LEDCs</p>
<p>Any others?</p>
<p>hahaha trying to achieve all of those things is completely unnecessary</p>
<p>maybe having 1 or 2 or 3 from the list would be more reasonable…</p>
<p>Of super student…</p>
<p>Eager to learn
Always studying things outside of the curriculum that interests them
Participates in class
Someone who does the best they can do academically, regardless of how naturally intelligent they are.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, by my definition, I’ve met super students in all/mostly regular level classes, and met a lot of terrible students in 5 AP classes.</p>
<p>I hate evaluating people, ESPECIALLY in terms academics, based on constructed standards like standardized test scores, accolades, and competitive awards. They tend to emphasize minimization of the difference between performance and the ideal, instead of maximization of difference between rawness of talent and performance. What makes a super student is not the destination reached, but the journey taken away from the starting point.</p>
<p>Really, a super student is just a dedicated and open-minded genius.</p>
<p>These are unnecessary, some people don’t have access to APs or other things.</p>
<p>However, 2400 SAT / 36 ACT is definitely a requirement, as is straight A’s or A+'s, if applicable. I only know one person who got all A+ in highschool.</p>
<p>IMO, ICho, IBO, IPhO, IOI Gold Medalist multiple times</p>
<p>That’s the only thing that jumps out at me… All the others are tosh by comparison.</p>
<p>Why the bloody hell do you need to have a freaking trust fund to be a super student?
Are you implying lower/middle class people are unable to be highly gifted and intelligent?</p>
<p>You are not an super student until younplay every sport out there, have natural intelligence, have perfect scores on everything, win every positive reward (no Darwin Awards), dilligent, curiosity, and everything else I missed.</p>
<p>That’d be impossible…</p>
<p>Excellence in Academics, Arts and Athletics. Meaning
2400 SAT
A+ on every subject/4.0 GPA
5’s on every AP
Varsity for 4 years
In some kind of all state or national orchestra/symphony/band </p>
<p>By the way there is a kid in my school who’s close to this. Except he doesn’t have 2400 or A+ on everything.</p>
