>>10976380I never said "slighty above average". I'm talking about the best of the best of the United States. Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Paly, Exeter, etc; basically produce the best robotics teams, the best science olympiad participants (which later would beat (You)r team at IMO, IPhO, IChO, or any competition you want), etc.
>lol no frence is tu hard xDFuck off. And by the way, I was not even talking about prépa because that has not literal equivalent in the United States (why the hell would I compare students 19-20 years old to students 14-18 years old?, of course prépa would be different).
And even then, you're missing the point. All those "elite" schools, no matter in which country they are located, are normally full of mediocrity. Many of them are just the typical "above-average" student that takes hard classes. The really smart ones are the ones that stand out over all the mediocrity.
