[quote=Anonymous]I went to a HYPS. I was an unhooked white female from NYC. 2400 SATs and in the top 1/3rd of my class (but not higher) at a public magnet. Did not try hard at all and constantly got marked down for late/I don’t homework. Two extracurriculars with national recognition, but not like in a prodigy sort of way. Intended to major in math and philosophy, which probably helped; but ended up as an EP&E major. Actually found my school very easy; much easier than HS since I could avoid hard subjects that I wasn’t interested in and there was no busy work. Summa without much effort and gone most weekends for an EC. I got a lot out of the school, but didn’t find the academics particularly challenging.[/quote]
