Do you consider yourself an overachiever?

<p>I won't dignify this with a response unless you clarify whether your name refers to the truly elite Harvard med or the easy admit to their masters programs.</p>

3

<p>no i do not</p>

4

<p>neither do I</p>

5

<p>used to be.</p>

<p>Since I consider being an overachiever to be achieving more than your general intellect should allow, then definitely no. I get A's and B's but if I was more organized and together, I could maybe pull straight A's. I'm by no means a genius, but I wish I had the energy to put forth more effort.</p>

<p>No... I still sleep a healthy amount. =D</p>

8

<p>nope
procrastination ftw!!!</p>

<p>goldenratioΦ and fizix are definitely genii, although since I don't know them personally, I wouldn't be able to comment on whether or not they are overachievers</p>

10

<p>well thank you ^_^</p>

11

<p>I'm just an underachiever who has achieved a lot. People that take pride in overachieving are, to be honest, losers (in the non-literal sense).</p>

12

<p>Why wouldn't you want to maximize your potential and achieve as many accomplishments as you can??? I don't understand why anyone would limit themselves...</p>

13

<p>On the contrary - people that call themselves overachievers are people that believe they couldn't possibly do any better. Underachievers like myself have no limit. I could do better, but I don't feel like it.</p>

14

<p>nope .</p>

15

<p>No. It takes me like countless hours to motivate myself to do hw.</p>

16

<p>^ oo same problem with me :(</p>

17

<p>Hellz no, my friend.</p>

<p>I'd make one kickass overachiever if I were considerably less lazy, methinks.</p>

18

<p>I am unspeakably lazy, so no. And I'm also not a joiner, which is a characteristic of overachievers.</p>

19

<p>All of you need to stop comparing yourself to YOUR standards. </p>

<p>If your on this website, theres a 99% chance that, yes, you are a overachiever.</p>

<p>**overachiever:* 1. someone who does better than expected. 2. someone excessively dedicated to the achievement of success.*</p>

<p>Nahh. I set minimum requirements and personal goals for myself, and I map out ways for me to be a competitive applicant for the schools I want to go to, but I don't think that's being an overachiever.</p>

<p>The sad part really is that my intelligence has significantly decreased over the years. I was the smartest middle school kid, serious overachiever as well -- won AMC8 for my school in sixth grade, applied for all sorts of programs, was thoroughly invested in going to Harvard, et cetera...</p>

<p>Blehh.</p>
