Wow, so it wasn't just my high school that had the great divide? I wouldn't call them remedial classes but there was a fine distinction between kids in AP/Honors classes and those who weren't. We used to call it the AP bubble since the people in your AP classes you saw in all your classes and people who weren't in the bubble you forgot went to your school unless you were in sports, student gov, or something like that. My high school was a pretty decent size (2500) but the AP bubble definitely made it feel smaller. It's really weird now that I'm at UCLA and the only segregation there is is between North (humanities/social sciences) & South (math/science) campuses.

Now, I know that FIRST is blessed to have many top students but I know there's many who aren't all in AP classes or scoring as high as these stellar marks we've been seeing. Just to prevent people from totally freaking out, don't worry too much! As a person who's been through the whole college application process, I got into a handful of nice schools and my AP scores (and SATs actually) weren't that spectacular. To compensate, I did work really hard to have a high GPA, had a good personal statement, and was in a lot of clubs and stuff. So that's just my bit to people who might have been intimidated by seeing all these 4's and 5's. Keep up the good work all though.
