S - M - R - T! I am so smart!
So, there's this organization for my work that I'm supposed to join, and one of the things you have to have is a course in micro and macro economics in order to join. Me, I was too busy taking math, computer science, and art history courses in college to ever take a boring econ course. However, I read through the fine lines, and it appears if I can prove I took the AP Micro and Macro-econ exams and got at least a 4 on both of them, then I can qualify for the educational credit.
So, there's a lot of back-and-forth between me and my high school, since I thought they might have had my test scores on record. Long story short, I had to contact The College Board and request a transcript of my AP scores that I took seven years ago. They had to extract the scores from some archive since I had passed the four year threshold.
Anyways, so I finally get a copy of my scores yesterday. And I totally forgot how goddamn smart I am! I took 12 AP Exams in high school (grade 11 and 12) and got eleven 5s and one 4! I also received an AP National Scholar with Distinction award.
Add to the 3 subsidiary exams for International Baccalaureate, and 3 Higher Level exams (2 part exams, each part 4 hours) and me getting all 7s on those (I got in the newspaper because apparantly it's a challenge to get just one 7, and I got 6 of them) and I was one SMRT nerd!
No wonder all the colleges wanted me. :)
I know I'm bragging, but seeing these scores that I forgot, I know if I heard someone else do that today, I'd be pretty amazed.
