<p>I bet I'm one of the top-colleges-bound sophomores in the state of Ohio. I've already taken two SAT subject tests, have a 4.0 uw GPA, partcipate in a bunch of ECs, go to a private school and hope to get a lot of awards. Tell me, am I a lone nerd or are any of you pre-junior kids also obssessed about college?</p>
<p>umm i would like you to shrink your ego right now!</p>
<p>Good for you. You're just like EVERYBODY else on CC. Congrats.</p>
<p>Haha, I'd suggest you chill about college for the time being. Not particularly useful to even begin to think of it now...</p>
<p>Anyhow, what you've just described is the general archetype of a CC member. Furthermore, nearly every one of the thousands of non-CC posting Ivy bound have stats quite similar (and potentially better, given that you didn't really say much of anything... at all) to yours. Join the club?</p>
<p>^ Agreed, but yes, I am not obssesed, more over-interested, in college. I've taken the SAT, have a 3.8 uw GPA, also participate in many EC's, although I go to a public school. I definitely sure I'm not one of the top-college bound sophmores in my state (Mass), but I like to do well and try very hard.</p>

<p>^ haha. SAT tests? my friends took those in 7th grade, no joke. they're kinda easy if you actually know your subject.
congrats on your unweighted 4.0, but uh... even I get that and our school doesn't even weight. </p>
<p>wheeeee. welcome to cc baby.</p>
<p>Why do you people even reply to this crap? The only reason I did was to ask this.</p>
<p>You are a tumbling dickweed.</p>
<p>haha at the end of my sophomore year i had taken 6 AP tests, obv at a 4.00 uw, and pwned in general. thats nothing special</p>
<p>this is really just sad</p>
<p>I'm a sophomore and I've memorized the entire dictionary. I > you in pwnage in every sense and definition of the word's existence.</p>
<p>Um, tens of thousands of people have great GPAs and subject tests, does that define you as a great applicant for a college? I think not...</p>
<p>Now this is going to come off purely obnoxious and arrogant, so I'm sorry in advance, but I just want COCONUTMONKEE to know the stats of an average sophomore CC'er</p>
<p>...this is what I currently have as a sophomore: 4.0 UW, 7-8 AP tests by the end of this year (most anyone else in my school is going to have is 1), 145.5/9 (AMC/AIME), USAMO Qualifier, ARML National Championships 4th Place, 300+ volunteer hours, Varsity Water Polo/Swimming(MVP), Class President (9th grade-present), designed and executed a volunteer program in a rural orphanage in India, several awards for being the best delegate at MUN/HMC conferences, co-head attorney of Mock Trial last year, only student on school site council, city's youth advisory council, best student in all departments of my school except foreign language last year, and more....</p>
<p>I'm really sorry in advance if the came across as being conceited, just trying to broaden some perspectives....</p>

I should've known and triple-realized that you were Indian. ;)</p>
<p>It clears a lot of things.</p>
<p>^^ that's definitely not stats of an average sophomore CC'er. I'm a sophomore and definitely don't have stats anywhere close to that. So doe mean I'm below average If I "only" took 2 AP's (AP Calculus BC and AP Biology ) have 4.0 UW and scored "only" got a 114 on the AMC? I have other stuff but I wont bother to list them all...but honestly that is definitely not average....</p>
<p>Oh look at meadow, he's a little flustered now with his only "2 Ap's and 4.0UW".</p>
<p>You're fine, in fact above average for a sophomore. It's coming from a guy named "DATABOX", for the love of Zeus, it's to be expected. And excluding...um, abnormal people like Databox, college admissions to like really top colleges aren't about trivial differences of a couple AP tests, SAT score points, and etc...that's common sense (and it's what my cousins at Princeton/Harvard/Stanford told me).</p>
<p>Oh come on invoyable, there are nerdier usernames, so don't hate on mine :D
And actually, one of my friends made my username, so I really don't have much to do w/ it :P
Lol, meadow, you are SO below average....jk, you're probably like in the top 0.2% of all the sophomores in the country...note I said "average sophomore CC'er"
Wait, are you supposed to be an overachiever if you're Indian? Cause up here, most are wangsters...</p>
<p>Nah. Most Indians I know are incredibly nerdy at math/science, and all have like a 180 IQ (like you do), esp. in math. A couple Indian friends of mine, in fact, go home and READ books about BIOGRAPHIES of famous math people. ...</p>
<p>Stereotypical, yes...but the reason stereotypes exist is because there's a good number of them and a reasonable basis that makes it valid. ;)</p>
<p>haha, my IQ is nowhere near 180...
wow, that's scary, I don't even think I can name a mathematician who isn't associated with a widely used theorem...
and aren't chinese peeps comparable at math/science?</p>
<p>Nice job, DataBox. <3 You presented that in the best possible way, 'cause you weren't posting it to stroke your ego; you were just showing the OP how narrow his/her view of the rest of the academic world is. Also, you're amazing.</p>
<p>Anyways, OP, the top students aren't the ones who plan their lives around getting into college -- they're the ones for whom those things just naturally fall into place because they're extremely intelligent and motivated.</p>
<p>That said, and to counteract all the negative feedback you've gotten in this thread, congrats on doing a great job so far in high school.</p>

Them, too, I guess. Chinese people are usually balanced though imo; 1/2 my Chinese friends are math/science, the other 1/2 in many other areas. 100% of my Indian friends on the other hand are COMPLETE math/science freaks. I know again it's stereotypical, but there's a certain valid point when you say Indians correlate to math/science.</p>
<p>My part-Asian piece is Korean, though (Oh zomg is Poseur reading this, I hope not). ;)</p>
