Student Bodies of Elite Universities: What Defines Them?

<p>my random input:i don’t consider myself very ‘smart/intelligent’ in the slightest (plus, my dad says i most likely have “mild ADD” like him, but whatever…) BUT i do study a LOT harder than i know some of my ‘smarter’ friends do. i might not get as high grades as them in the end, but i think i push myself harder in the sense that i am researching colleges much earlier than necessary, will find a college that is the perfect fit for me, am preparing earlier than most for the SATs, trying to build a good relationship with teachers, etc., etc. Even without the highest gpa (my school, esp. MY grade, is filleddd with over-achieving, ass-kissing, extra-credit earning, day-and-night studying, will CLAW their way up to the top type of [mostly asian] kids), i guess i won’t really let myself NOT get into a top college, so i just study hard and be the best i can be. (WOW, that was a long sentence).</p>

<p>uhh…i’m rambling…what was the question?? haha.</p>
