Can I get into Mudd without being a genius?

I would say that the majority of students at HMC are geniuses by the common definitions (>135 IQ, top 2% in IQ, etc). If you’re already worried about the intelligence of your peers, I would suggest not coming to Mudd. You’re going to be competing (in context of the curve) against some very smart people for grades in very difficult classes.

Right now I would say HMC is a reach for you. However, you should post a thread in the chances forum once you get your SAT scores.
