I think I was in the teens out of 250? Something like that. There were some geniuses at my school. Thankfully most of them were very nice and modest and not asses.

I was beat out by 0.001 of a point point to be first.

Oddly enough, I had all A's throughout highschool, and the number one person in my class had a single B.

However, since I took an extra standard level class my freshman year, I ended up #2 out of approx. 400. Ain't life a bitch? :)

highest ranked male student in the class, btw.

we had a lot of intelligent females in our class, a couple of which were cheerleaders oddly enough.

Yeah, one of our valedictorians was a cheerleader, a ditz, and apparently a bit of a slut. But the woman is wicked smart (I've kept in touch with her at the Univ. of Washington and she's close to getting a Bachelor's in Neurobiology, I think).

2/500ish (tied)

The guy that was first was caught faking teacher recommendations to college...also rumors of him being a massive cheater. The girl I tied with really should have been 1st.

high school only matters for getting into some univesities, but if the one you want is not that hard to get into, then there's no reason to try in HS

Are you an Asian and/or woman?

Must have gone to a stupid school, a single B would have knocked you out of the top 10 easily in many schools where there are multiple way ties for First, and then ties for other spots by many who have gotten 1 A-

6/592 when I applied to colleges.

5/592 when I graduated (someone else dropped down I guess).

Don't remember exactly but it was the low 300's in a class of 700-something. I really didn't try very hard in HS.
