Do you have a reputation at your school?

<p>Overachiever, lol, but in the actual group of overachievers at my school I’m the crazy ditzy girl who somehow ended up there. Not a tryhard, though, I’m too lazy to get that kind of reputation.</p>

22

<p>Everyone knows Im smarter then them</p>

23

<p>I wish/////////////////</p>

24

<p>I’m that freshman that’s in a lot of junior/senior classes. I’m the youngest in one of my classes by 2 years. No one knows what grades I get, which are high As, but I never tell anyone that or that I’m a freshman. I have lots of friends, though. But I try to hide what classes I take and what grades I get.</p>

25

<p>To general populace I am “really smart girl”.
Everyone else, “Clumsy, funny, over achiever”</p>

26

<p>Throwing a party this saturday, I guess that tells a lot :slight_smile:
I’d also been called a lazy smart kid.</p>

27

<p>I’m the Mark Zuckerberg of my hs. Well-known for being genuinely intelligent (i.e. not one of those kids with a 4.4 inflated GPA but an 1800 SAT score) but don’t have an ‘overachiever’ rep per se. Like a hybrid ‘genius’-slacker combo. Well not really slacker…it’s more like a non-tryhard aura.</p>

28

<p>If I am going to guess, people probably see me as the anti-tryhard / Lazy-smart kid. I usually don’t have my homework done, and I am always daydreaming when I get called on in class, but I usually get the best grade in the class on tests and set the curve. Also, teachers seem to like me a lot even though I am really lazy, they always try to get me to explain stuff to the class because they think I want to and I am just shy, but in reality I’m just bored out of my mind while in class.</p>

29

<p>I’m the nice, extremely average guy in advanced standards. Im not the pinnacle of my class, but in the top tier of kids in my school I’m right in the middle of that echelon.</p>

30

<p>They call me extremely nice and smart.</p>

<p>Correlating SAT score to intelligence much? Hahahahhahahah. Going to hate on English here again. Yeah, I have in the 1800s range, but there is this perfect SAT scorer / top 10 er that I have helped with Calculus :stuck_out_tongue:
C/O 2013 has no mathematicians in its top 10… :(</p>

32

<p>In classes where I bring my [url=&lt;a href=“http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/05/09/Asus_G75VW-AS71_35248863_01_620x433.jpg]laptop[/url”&gt;http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2012/05/09/Asus_G75VW-AS71_35248863_01_620x433.jpg]laptop[/url</a>], I’m the Linux enthusiast with the bigass laptop and hugeass backpack.</p>

<p>I also sometimes wear [url=&lt;a href=“https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/730638/minimalism-shirt.jpg]this[/url”&gt;https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/730638/minimalism-shirt.jpg]this[/url</a>], to many complements.</p>

33

<p>I now have kids come up to me almost daily and ask “ZOMG YOU GOT A 36 ON YOUR ACT?!?!” and I hate when people do that. I always had a reputation as the smartest kid in our class but now people treat me like I’m some otherworldly genius. </p>

<p>So yeah, I’m “the kid who got a 36 on his ACT.”</p>

34

<p>I guess I have a reputation as being “the smartest black kid…” Lol, but seeing how my high school is, that’s not that hard ;)</p>

35

<p>I’m the “smart girl” every first day of class I can just feel the other people in the room thinking ‘she’s the smart one’. But that’s only in a few classes. Most of the time I feel people see me as a smart girl who is kinda shy, but definitely nice</p>

36

<p>tangentline- I mean, do you really think that intelligence doesn’t correlate with SAT scores? How many <em>genuinely</em> intelligent people do you know with mediocre SAT scores?</p>

37

<p>i think its safe to say the majority of people on CC are known as the smart kids</p>

38

<p>It does correlate… Sorry, I meant there are outliers that are way above the others where they stand on the graph. Okay, no, there aren’t many intelligent people with low SAT scores. I’m just tired of parents, teachers, and other people that use it to define a person negatively. (1980 for one teacher’s sake isn’t bad enough to threaten to kick his son out of his house–side note he improved it to over 2200)</p>

39

<p>Yeah, I, too, am known as the ‘smart girl’ (also as ‘that quiet girl who reads a lot’).</p>

<p>CC attracts those types of kids, I guess.</p>

<p>Rather, after reading CC for a while, you focus more on how your academic success influences your reputation than on anything else, even if it is only a small influence on how people see you.</p>
