Stuff CCers say

<p>I agree. There is no need in worrying until Junior year really.</p>

<p>I’m the valedictorian of my grade, I have a 4.0 UW GPA, I’ve volunteered abroad in six different countries, I got a 2400 on my first take of the SATs, I’ve taken every single AP class and I’ve gotten 5s on each exam but I got a 4 for Calculus… Are my chances at getting accepted into Harvard ruined?</p>

<p>Yale? That’s my safety school…</p>

<p>Help how do I ask a girl out/interact with other people!!!</p>

<p>S**t CCers say:
Long, vague paragraphs describing their achievements, along with “I’m not bragging!” … and then with no question/purpose.
Sparknotes version: “I’m naturally smarter than all of you, you should feel inferior.”</p>

<p>Paraphrased:
“I don’t see why anyone would party, do drugs, or even waste time hanging out with “friends.” Don’t they know the SAT is <em>insert number here</em> months away? This is the most important test of your life, people! Whatever, I’m glad I’LL never be as stupid as they are. They call me a loser but I’ll get the last laugh when I’m their boss.”</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>"I think a teacher is sabotaging my grade, I have no evidence except the fact that I don’t have a 100 in the class. I’ll never be valedictorian!</p>

<p>This was really the subject of a thread that was just posted.</p>

<p>I got a 2400 my first try, is it worth it to retake it just to show I can get 2400 twice? Also should I take the ACT too?</p>

<p>Lol omg that’s just ridiculous ^</p>

<p>Btw, SAT scores don’t correlate with IQ >…< I know someone with an IQ of ~143 and he got between an 1800 and 1900… (Don’t remember the specific number)</p>

<p>Explain that…</p>

<p>Hate to but in, but I honestly think that not one test would be able to gauge someone’s level of knowledge, either IQ test or SAT.</p>

<p>It’s more important to put to good use the knowledge you acquire than get a number back to show how much knowledge you apparently have.</p>

<p>^A friend of my who is not so smart like C average manage to get a 1800 total score first time. Did he do poorly?</p>

<p>He didn’t do too well, and C average is the result of lack of work ethic, not intelligence.</p>

<p>^You don’t know him.
And a score of 1800 is well enough for most people I know, which apparently is not CCers.</p>

<p>1800 is average at my school and only a few hundred points above the national average, so yea, whadda genius.</p>

<p>I consider dfree124’s most recent posts as contribution to this thread.</p>

<p>^ Right, if you work decently hard there’s no reason for you to not have at least a B average. I never said an 1800 was bad, but it certainly isn’t an indication of a genius.</p>

<p>If you got a 4.0 at my school (which NO ONE even got this year) then it DO have something to do with intelligence. Are you leaving out Math, Science, and English which require your own brain and not facts from the teachers.
And a 2400 isn’t impressive either.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Ahaha, oh my god, you must be ■■■■■■■■ me.</p>

<p>Descuff, you really think a 2400 is not impressive? It’s at least modestly impressive (and I’d say quite a bit more than that).</p>

<p>Stuff CC’ers say: A 2400 is not impressive.</p>

<p>-“And an 1800 is not impressive. It only indicates that he isn’t stupid.”</p>

<p>Wait weren’t we just saying that SAT is not a true measure of intelligent? Then how can you say that he is not stupid?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Is an 1800 impressive? No, I’d say 2100+ is impressive (in real life, not on CC). Does this mean that 1800-2090 are bad scores? No, they’re good scores, but they do not impress me. </p>

<p>Does an 1800 indicate that the taker is stupid? No, it indicates that the taker is in the top ~20% of test takers. The top 20% of test takers are most likely not stupid.</p>

<p>I don’t see how that statement is false.</p>
