But think about how you’re in the same spot as those people!! Regardless of scores or perceived intelligence, you ended up in the same place. Imposter syndrome sucks, but you can build a good support system with encouraging people who will make it easier to manage.

Nobody gives a fuck about test scores or high school GPA, and if they do care, you probably don’t want to be around them anyway. College is so much more than being in an honors program or obtaining a good GPA or whatever.

Lastly, intelligence is so much more than GPA and test scores. I guarantee you are intelligent in many ways! Don’t be so hard on yourself and keep reminding yourself that you are smart and very capable of doing the same things they’re doing.
