So I’m taking 5 classes, but have 2 B+ in AP Chem and a writing class, one A- in a dual enrollment stats class, and the rest are As in 2 online classes.
What are my actual chance of getting rescinded? I’m so worried and paranoid.
In every school, there are probably going to be a group of students who are considered the "smart kids," meaning 4.0 GPAs, 1550+ SAT scores, and crazy extracurriculars and awards from competitions.
But they're not really "smart."
Your school grades reflect how "hard working" or "lazy" you are, not how intelligent someone is. I personally think intelligence and grades have 0 correlation. School is mostly busy work, not "hard" work.
Lets say, for example, there are 2 students. Student X averages all As, while student Y struggles to keep up with Cs. Student X submits a particular assignment in time, while student Y doesnt, per usual. Does this mean X is somehow more "smarter" than Y? No. It just means Y is probably more lazy. The assignment itself is almost never hard. It just takes time to compelte it.
Same with tests. People have this conception that the students getting 95s or higher are just naturally smart. That is not true. The "naturally smart people" just spend more time studying. While an average student spends 30 minutes studying for a test, the "smart kids" will spend double or triple the amount, so obviously their score will be higher. Not because they are "smarter," but because they spent more time on studying.
We all have this stereotype that students who go to top colleges like Harvard are some kind of genius. From my experience, this is NOT true. I am personally friends with 2 upperclassmen that are currently in Harvard, and I can say with confidence they are NOT "geniuses." You know who goes to these colleges? The people who spent the busiest lives in high school goes to schools like ivy leagues. Yes, there are some exceptions, like if young sheldon were an actual person. But what im saying is, its not the "smartest geniuses" that gets into these colleges, but rather the "biggest hustlers" in high school, accumulating grades, test scores, awards, accomplishments, and extracurriculars during their 4 years of high school.
So does good grades correlate with how intelligent someone is? No.
Does it correlate with how much of a hard worker someone is? Yes.
