<p>When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer.</p>
<p>Sometimes it seems fitting to dub myself Theoneo (whoa! capitalized!) the Great.</p>
<p>puahahahaha</p>
<p>and yet alexander (the dead) still turned to dust as the weight of the centuries borne down upon his corpse</p>
<p>God this thread is becoming disgusting. Imagine, some of the smartest kids in the country bragging to each other.</p>
<p>*Shakes head.</p>
<p>So... I wonder who is the smartest senior, junior, sophomore, and freshmen on CC?</p>
<p>Sagar, you do NOT want to get an intelligence debate going on here. The mods would have to close it within like two posts haha.</p>

Wait, so what is the point of CC again (and specifically the WAMC forum)????</p>
<p>i guess i can say everything started in middle school. i was basically considered the class nerd. i was quiet, well-liked, and i was loved by all my teachers. I've always had As and Bs, and I was proud of myself. All through elementary/middle school all my classmates and teachers kept telling me "God, you're so smart" "So bright" "Intelligent" "Mature for her age" and "Advanced". And it was really cool being told that, but then high school came and I found out that I wasn't as smart as i thought I was lol</p>
<p>I, too, had gone through a few hardships not many teenagers had. In the 6th grade, my dad passed away after battling lung cancer for about a year. Not a lot of people in my school, let alone my class, knew about it, and they told me not to tell anyone, so it was quite a burden keeping it to myself. After that, I (think) I suffered deep depression. It didn't affect my schoolwork, but it affected my personality. I wasn't as bubbly or as friendly. None of my classmates wanted to play with me now that I became the weird, depressed kid. My friends thought I'd gone bonkers (and it didn't help that I was now the class loser and they were the two most popular in our class of 28), so they distanced themselves from me. </p>
<p>In the 8th grade, I was still the kid that, when paird up in a group, they'd go "YES! We got her!!". I had gotten my hair cut really short, and the guys in my class, for some reason, reallly didn't like it. They started calling me "dude" becuase they thought I looked like a guy. They'd scream it out in the malls when they saw me, or during class, or whatever. ** I was getting straight Cs in Algebra 1, and I hated it and was so frustrated**</p>
<p>fast forward to high school</p>
<p>Now I've been a highest-honors scholar since freshman year. I've had an A- average every semester since freshman year. out of the 4 girls in my algebra 1 class who were going to my high school, me and my friend were the only ones who got into advanced math classes. now I am in Pre-Cal (as a junior), although I could've been in AP Calc (if i had an A- in Algebra II, but I got a B) I was the only sophomore to take any SATII tests, even if my scores were abysmal. My rank isn't that bad - 26/110. ** I'm proud to say my grades reflect the work I put into it** Math is now my highest grade and easiest class</p>
<p>Socially, I've transformed completely. My depression went away, and I found friends and happiness in theatre That's where i met my boyfriend of 9 months. =) I go out a lot and have a very full and fufilling social life.</p>
<p>And I'm proud to be an average student</p>
<p>I think I just fell in love with you.</p>
<p>My rigorous schedules: I took 11 APs in high school (ten 5's and one 4) and got National AP Scholar. In college, I took 34 semester classes (29 of which were math, physics, electrical engineering, or computer science) and graduated with a 3.9 in Computer Engineering and Math in 5 semesters.</p>
<p>Your IVY acceptance stories: accepted to Princeton, currently attending Stanford.</p>
<p>Your high school awards: top 50 in U.S. Chem Olympiad, state awards in math and chemistry, National Merit Finalist</p>
<p>what?? fell in love with who?</p>
<p>oh, and btw</p>
<p>a theatre-geek's schedule can be as hard (and maybe harder) than any sportsman's schedule</p>

<p>if you use that kind of raw emotion in your college essays, it'll be good. :) very very descriptive</p>
<p>I'll post later when i get all my uni stuff out of the way... but lets just say i went from struggling in junior high with high 80's average to being 2nd in my class with high 90's average. oh, and its quite a story too... its kinda one of those things where i just "snapped" in the same year, i went from pityful EC's to heading a recognized intercity organization.</p>

<p>im_blue
i envy you for being at stanford...it's been my dream for so long...how could you possibly be "blue"?</p>
<p>Ha, my nickname comes from the song "I'm Blue" by Eiffel 65. It was playing on all the radio stations in 2000. I was rejected from Stanford undergrad but I'm very happy to get in for grad.</p>
<p>"AMC12 and Physics Olympiad"</p>
<p>thats why I do humanities instead.</p>
<p>i think the person who was looking for stories isn't active anymore.</p>
<p>I have anxiety disorder, not a lot of money, and my dad is a recovering alcoholic who didn't even graduate from high school. (None of which the colleges I'm applying to know about, though) My mom didn't go to college either. </p>
<p>But....I just got a 36 on the ACT and I'm the valedictorian at my International Baccalaureate program school (GPA 5.26) and I spend a lot of time on extracurriculars, I had a job during my junior year, etc.</p>
<p>I got accepted EA to Georgetown and UChicago, waiting til April to hear from Brown, Princeton, NYU, and WashU.</p>
