<p>I really feel like the SAT is a good indicator of your intelligence. Out of all the people who I’ve talked to, all the stupid ones tell me they got bad scores and all the smart kids tell me they got good scores. The SAT is NOT a good indicator of how well you will perform in college because some stupid people can get very, very good grades just by dedicating a lot of time to studying, and the same with intelligent people getting lazy and not getting that 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>Now, do colleges want kids who are going to get 4.0 GPAs in college and have no real impact on the world, or do they want the brilliant kids who are going to get the 3.0 and go on to cure cancer?</p>
<p>Yes, yes, I know, most kids who are intelligent enough to be considered geniuses will, in fact, get the very good grades, but there has to be some who just don’t take their studies seriously. . . yet.</p>
