<p>this is a random question, but does our class-class of 2008-seem to be extremely bright?? i've noticed it from an early age, but i seriously think kids graduating next year are so smart. at least in my class, it is pretty ridiculous but my class has more smart people than dumb, over 25 national merit recognized kids.. i don't know but i think with so many smart people, applying for college will be extremely competitive..</p>
