<p>Like, you guys are posting your scores and stuff, and no one seems to have any grades below a B. And then everyone seems to have gotten like a 2380 on their SAT's. I mean, I think I'm smart, like I'm in honors for every class. And my grades are never below 90, but I'm confused now. Like on some thread someone said they took the SAT as a joke and hot like a 2200 or something....</p>
<p>welcome to cc! :)</p>
<p>[though i don't fall into the smart bracket either by cc standards! :o]</p>
<p>Yes. Good thing this is considered the cream of the crop for the college admissions process. AOPS is also a place to find the best and brightest.
Don't be discouraged though, you can learn a lot from this place.</p>
<p>im good at math!!! (... only) lol jk</p>
<p>i think i am pretty smart... CC can make you feel stupid sometimes, but its all good</p>
<p>Hey........lots of folks who don't have top stats lurk here and learn here. We just need more "regular" students to post and be confident about doing it. Good Luck and come back to post more often.</p>
<p>I think "obsessed" is more accurate.</p>
<p>think about it this way, what type of students would spend their time posting on a college-prep board rather than a...say...mtv board?</p>
<p>Well, while we're at it, what kind of student would post on an MTV board period? :)</p>
<p>ditto^^^^^</p>
<p>The ones who want to know how to get into the colleges that the kids on Laguna Beach are going to be attending.........what is it gonna take for me to go to school with those kids? Help, I need to know quickly!!</p>
<p>Doesn't Stephen go somewhere in San Francisco? haha okay so I watched enough of it to know that. Honestly, I know people like hazmat mentioned and they really don't believe there's any competition to get into college.</p>
<p>You'll see that the majority of posters are not "super smart" par se.</p>
<p>I just see it as a bunch of hard workers.</p>
<p>Yah, like me. I'm not super-smart but I do work hard... when I want to. :-P</p>
<p>yeah this board is full of motivated people who want to know how to get ahead in school and college admissions. i suppose that's the common bond.</p>
<p>I agree, a lot of people here at CC are just really hard workers. Although sometimes checking out the chances threads is a really humbling experience. ( I wish I could get anywhere near those kinds of SAT scores)</p>
<p>speaking of insane sat scores...i just met with my sat math tutor for the first time, a soph at princeton who got a 800 on the sat ii math ii IN EIGHTH GRADE!! O.o</p>
<p>wow, thats incredible. Too bad there are no SAT tutors where I live, at least that I know of. (I live in Costa Rica , lol, few people here even take the SATs)</p>
<p>A bunch of my friends got 800's on the math section of the SAT I in eighth grade.</p>
<p>I feel dumb now.</p>
<p>A bunch of your friends got 800's on the math section in 8th grade, theoneo...Okay, where exactly in NJ do you live? What school do you go to?</p>
