<p>yikes! actual fist fights over college stuff...jeez, and I thought my gigantic public high school was competitive</p>
<p>All this competition in high schools is really unnecessary, because it usually just leads to cheating and other cheap methods of being on top. Almost reminds me of enron.</p>
<p>Oh, and the richest and best aren't the smartest, either; I love to tell people who are obsessed with grades this great fact.</p>
<p>yes, SLU is saint louis university.</p>
<p>wow college, I know a large number of people in shadyside. </p>
<p>epsilon - the smartest are the people with the highest grades.</p>
<p>nah, the smartest are the ones who find a way to get in, highest grades or not.</p>
<p>using your intelligence with your creativity to achieve your personal ultimate goals....is smart.</p>
<p>i agree with pipinghot! grades=/intelligence a lot of the time.</p>
<p>even if the tactics are "unethical"?</p>
<p>of course not....that's stupid...cuz first of all, that's a lack of self-dignity</p>
<p>LOL, the really smart kids are NOT the ones with the highest grades.</p>
<p>That is just an ignorant, head-up-one's-ass type of statement.</p>
<p>The most successful people in this word are ones that were a little smart, had great ideas, and worked hard.</p>
<p>I want you to look at the class that graduated from your super competitive HS from 8-10 years ago. See where they ended up. If it doesn't involve making millions a year, obviously they were not the smartest.</p>
<p>yeah most of our grads are super successful as long as they follow the track they are on...meaning there are a few here and there that lose their way and end up dropping out of college...but its actually pretty rare.</p>
<p>yeh, madamebovary...i should add a footnote to what i said before....the smartest are those who can get in in a morally justifiable way haha.</p>
<p>I'm reading madame bovary right now fer school...do you like the book?</p>
<p>i really liked madame bovary! and i usually am more of a mid to late 20th century lit fan.</p>
<p>i loved the book; however, i sometimes dont like how she is so emotional.</p>
<p>ehh, i'm not really that much of a fan of it....I can decide who to sympathize more with, charles or emma...</p>
<p>ok so what apps have you guys and gals finished?</p>
