And hard work is hard work. But the outcome of hard work is often very different depending on where your starting line is. If a homeless person works very hard they will end up much better off than they would have otherwise and that is true but it is almost a guarantee that someone who is rich that works EQUALLY as hard will climb much much higher because of their access to different opportunities. So yes the statement "hard work is hard work" is true, it's just a little lazy in my opinion.

Opal states that SAT scores are well correlated with GPA within the same school. This is a fair and logical point considering that (regardless of the school) your GPA is the consequence of your effort and access. Perhaps your GPA is not an indicator of how capable you are generally, but it is certainly an indicator to how well you’d perform comparably to other students within the same school.

People say he is arrogant, he might be, but it reminds me way more of how my tism works, when something is a fact it is a fact and that makes it unmovable, and when you don't catch social queues (and forget to mask and act bashful about things that simply are) it comes across as arrogance.

@@LaMC944 Modern neurodevergent culture is a huge problem. There is so much misinformation floating around about what these disorders really are, and it is getting so skewed that people are claiming it is not a disability, or a disorder. It is perpetuating cute names (the tism), calling normal every-day things people albeit not very common as Autistic or ADHD, validating self-diagnosis and going as far to calm self-diagnose is more accurate than MDs/PhDs who devoted their profession into researching these disorders. People who actually have these diagnosis don't like to see what they struggle with being adopted as a group of fun and unique personality traits. There are people suffering with these disorders and seeing them minimized makes us feel like garbage, and worry about being excluded and marginalized once again. Yes the tism meant to be light hearted, thut thrown around to describe yourself is very cringe. To parade these disorders around like it is who you are is harmful for us who have no choice because it will always be a part of us.

Probably just because they took a whole bunch of AP courses + the shown GPA being weighted. Ultimately, GPA is in no way a viable means of ranking someone. Nobody has the same situation.
