Are there any genius types at Cornell?

<p>I see our friend Saugus is relapsing. </p>

<p>For what it’s worth, some of the most brilliant people I’ve known went to po-dunk colleges or none at all and I’ve met some truly, truly stupid people from top tier Ivy League schools. So many factors go into why someone goes to a school. </p>

<p>If you think there’s a correlation between genius and GPA / test scores, you’re definitely not a genius so the whole question seems irrelevant since it’s not an issue of finding your peer group. Do you just want to bask in the glory of people smarter than you? The true geniuses aren’t in institutional academia. You’ve been deceived by a lifetime of propaganda if you think they are, Saugus. Recovery will be slow but you’re on the right track.</p>
