Any word can replace "some"

Hi,

Any word can replace "some":
I am an individual with some outstanding academic achievements.

Any suggestions?
Sound? Rich?

Is it possible to not write any word bwteen "with and outstanding"?
Ie, write it as:
I am an individual with outstanding academic achievements.

Thanks

Hi,

Any reason?
I am not a native speaker, so I am not good at English.

Usually, sentneces will be written in the following form:
I have some apples.
I have a few questions.
There are lots of uncertainties

Hi

In the sentence: I have some apples, 'some' means more than one, but it is not 'a lot of' or 'lots of', it's actually 'a couple of' apples.

If you said: I am an individual with some outstanding academic achievements, I would understand a couple of outstanding academic achievements. So not all your academic achievements would be outstanding, only a couple of them.

V1: I am an individual with outstanding academic achievements.
V2: I am an individual with some outstanding academic achievements.

Almost all people think VA is better.
