<p>Yeah it's from 2006, but holy ****. Stuff like this has been posted on here in the past, but I came across it and decided to share it with you guys. Thank God not every applicant to HYPSM is like those kids.</p>
<p>...I have accomplished nothing in my life :(</p>
<p>Seriously, *** at some of those.</p>
<p>Oh, wow. </p>
<p>I feel incredibly inadequate right now.</p>
<p>Interesting.</p>
<p>Overachieving is bland.</p>
<p>I just realized something....I'm totally making my future kid be on that list. </p>
<p>Like he/she seriously better be!</p>
<p>^ wow... your kids are going to be the ones on this forum talking about their overbearing and stressful parents :) </p>
<p>Anyway, that's the top of America... more get in with far less. Thank God the rat race is over.</p>
<p>lulz (10 char)</p>
<p>I'm surprised that you CC'ers hadn't seen this when it came out!! I remember reading that article as a middle schooler....</p>
<p>We should send them all to a dessert island and check back after a long time to see what kind of super genius athletes they breed amongst themselves.</p>

<p>Yeah I remember coming across it awhile back and somehow re-stumbled upon it.</p>
<p>too bad they don't get laid</p>
<p>^^Lolz!</p>
<p>I had NONE of those (NO awards at all, ORM, not a legacy, SAT score bit below average, etc) but I still got into MIT Early Action.</p>
<p>So guys, don't worry! not everybody are like them when applying to HYPSM, since I think those people had resources at their disposal to attain those kind of those things.</p>
<p>Right on, wildchartermage! Our son had nothing like any of those USA kids and he got into Princeton early. Sure, they all look like superstars, but, like you, "normal" kids get into the big schools every year. Congratulations!</p>
<p>What the hell have I been doing my whole life? I just realized I've been spending my days in a semi-productive state...time to power up. WOOT!</p>
<p>Hahah, ridiculous. And I agree, too bad they don't get laid.</p>
<p>I actually know someone on that list...she's very nice and you'd never suspect she was that amazing just by looking at her.</p>
<p>I actually think they would get laid. The first few people, at least. It's not like all they do is study. Some of them are varsity team captains and lettered in more than one sport. You guys are just jealous :rolleyes:.</p>
<p>How about this guy? Ankur</a> Luthra - UC Berkeley</p>
<p>lolz, well, they all would get laid at one point in their life. lolz.</p>
<p>DataBox, I expect you to be on there in two years. K? K.</p>
