Most depressing thing I can think of

If 'Person A', whose given name is probably Mei but whose family name is probably not Hiratou, only scored around the 90th percentile on standardized tests.

She started college when she was 13 or 14, and you have to be smart for that, right? But how smart? Let's say 90th percentile among all people who took a test, not the entire population. For the SAT used in the US, that would be a combined score of about 1340. https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-percentiles-and-score-rankings

Of course, getting such a score at age 13 would be different from getting it at age 18. But I mean her performance compared to other people her age.
