<p>This is legit. Keep in mind all of those honor societies are pretty useless, except for the one you are president of. I actually don’t know if skipping a grade counts for anything, though, I’d want to graduate with my class with the people who I grew up with/hung out with.</p>

<p>Definetly into Boston U, University of Florida, and University of Miami. The others are reaches.</p>

<p>Yeah, I know what you mean about graduating with your friends, but I skipped first grade lol… so I’ve known most of the people in my classes since I was like 6… lucky me…</p>
