Okay, I don't want to sound conceited, but the bulk of my question is about this: I am 16, a senior in high school and have a 4.5 GPA. Anybody else who is similar in this respect at my school is hailed a "smart god" and is known to be a genius. The thing is, I'm also a model...and I get vibes that people just don't take me seriously because (I'm sorry for my lack of modesty, I don't know how to put this delicately!) I'm good looking also. I feel that they feel that in order to be smart, you have to look like the steryotypical nerd and if you're even remotely good looking, you must be a air-headed bimbo who doesn't know anything....how can I get people to realize that I'm smarter than they think I am? That they should judge me on my academic achievements rather than my looks?

Don't concern yourself with those that don't believe in you. Brush them off and move on. Surround yourself with people who are positive. Prove those others wrong.

Don't let those people pull you down. The fact that they can't accept your intelligence (they most likely know that you are but don't want to admit to it) because of the stereotypes... really shows their immaturity.

your question shows only one thing, your immaturity. what other people may or may not think doesn't matter one little bit if you think well of yourself. Anyone that judges you at all, be it based on your academic ability or your appearance is shallow and not worth worrying about.
you may be intelligent, and you may be beautiful, but you really need to mature emotionally.

Let your haters be your motivators.
