Unfortunate nickname but that aside, pretty impressive achievement.

Smart and gracious. There’s a rare combination.

Anyone know how often this happens. I can’t imagine more than a few being able to do this.

La Raza and their “dreamers” aren’t going to be happy about this. Everyone knows that the La Raza “dreamers” are the smartest people on the planet.

My daughter took the ACT in June and almost got a perfect score, 35 out of 36. It was the first time she took it, and she didn’t have any special tutoring.

So far, she’s been offered a full out of state tuition to University of Alabama.

She’s not applying to the Ivies. She’s visited Duke and Stanford and she just wants to be at a larger university.

I’m really proud of her!!

I had a high school classmate who aced the SAT, went on to a Fulbright Scholarship. Fairly unusual for a public high school in a semi-rural county. I did pretty well on it myself, but that was completely overshadowed, lol.

I had a friend who scored a 1490 on the SATs when a perfect score was 1600. 99+ percentile. Yes, he’s smart. Head and shoulders above everyone else in most intellectual respects? Not really, and not noticeably to anyone who didn’t know.

Yes, but does she have self esteem?

Intelligent and humble. That combo will take her anywhere she wants to go in life.

I couldn’t get perfect scores with the answers in front of me.

I’d copy something wrong!
