This sounds like immense cope for not getting into the gifted program.

As a 1 of 3 children in the gifted program in primary school, I can assure you that none of us studied for it and solved all the year's math within the first couple months, that's why they needed it for us. We landed some of the highest paying jobs in the US, one graduated CalTech Physics, nothing to do with "getting pregnant" or "bad grades."
