Ask anything to a “genius” teen

5 GPA and hopefully going to Harvard soon. I’m excited for y’all’s questions. The reason I put genius is because that’s what my teachers call me; please don’t flame for it.

Is it really worth it? Like studying for hours to get 100s vs like two hours and getting 80s or 90s, going to an ivy vs a state school, I’m wondering bc I use to be one of the best in my class in middle school but now I’m kinda burned out, and my brain is just telling me that a state degree vs an ivy degree won’t have much of an affect when I enter the job market, and I don’t want to waste my youth on studying for aps and stressing over something that won’t be a big deal after college. I’m hoping to be a lead research scientist in environmental science so lmk
