“smartness”, in my mind, constitutes time management and study skills too. If a person is only naturally gifted in learning but doesn’t manage his time well or have good study habits, I don’t think he would have made it this far unless he got really lucky. Many people who say things like “I’m not doing any work” but still manage an A in difficult classes or gets very very high sat scores probably have worked hard in his own time without telling people.

In my mind, this more broad definition of “smartness” will matter.
