Re: Can you help me choose the best sentence?

Can you help me choose the best one? OR can you keep the same idea
for each sentence and correct it if it is verbose or incorrect.

1/ " While studying in mathematically specialized classes
at...(school name), I took many math and physics courses and
usually achieved top scores in class"
2/ " While studying in classes for the Mathematically Gifted
at..., I took many math and physics courses and usually achieved
top scores in class"
3/ " While studying as a gifted student specialized in Mathematics
at..., I..."

How about this:

"While studying specialized mathematics at...(school name), I took many
math and physics courses in which I usually achieved top grades" (or
"marks" for British English, I think)?

I think it's possible to include the "Mathematically Gifted" phrase in
the sentence if you use it as a program title rather than a personal
description:

"When I was in the Mathematically Gifted Program at...(school name), I
took many math and physics courses in which I usually achieved top
grades."
