How'd YOU do in High School?

Agreed. I think the "ruralness" of my HS and the lack of funding compared to other areas in the state didn't allow for everyone's true potential to be fully shown. Then I got to college where I was middle of the line. But medical school, oh man, what a rude awakening.

Don't scare me, Bacchus. I'm already panicked enough after hearing people say they study 7-9 hrs daily in med school and only perform average.

I had mostly As and Bs. I could have done better if I put forth the effort that I do now though.

I dropped out as soon as I could (after 11th grade) and got my GED, moved to the US, scored a 33 on the ACT and now I go to a decent state school in the South. It definitely hurt me in regards to study habits, but as far as how challenging college coursework is, I don't consider myself particularly disadvantaged.

Clocked in around 650 hours on BF2 for the PC one summer. Weighted GPA of 102% and a 30+ ACT but pretty mediocre SAT. Didn't really apply myself much to anything and didn't participate a lot either.

Pretty awful. Grew up and matured in college though it was hard for me to find motivation in high school

+1. I was a B student in HS ranked 199 in my class of 400. I was more focused on being the class clown than getting good grades.

I wasn't a good student. I would get in fights and could carless about my classes. But in my senior year I buckle up. 👍

I really did not care about my GPA as much in high school. I was probably the most lazy person in my AP classes. I never studied more than an hour or two for a test. Those were the days....

Graduated valedictorian with a 4.63 GPA. I thought high school was hard til I started college. Now I'm about to start med school and am sure I will be blown away by the even greater difficulty.
