If you want to get the smartest students, ask for their IQ
That's probably not going to do top colleges all that much for them.
My 160+ IQ cousin failed out of UConn because he has no work ethic.

You try telling a kid who is a standard deviation below that IQ range or two that they don't deserve to go to a top school compared to my cousin even if they would be able to be top of their class.


Work ethic is what matters, not your actual IQ (although if you had an IQ of around 85 or so it may make school a wee bit difficult for you...).
