Which would you rather have?

It depends on where you go to school. Personally, I go to a public school in which students are assigned to homerooms alphabetically (that is, in a systematic random manner, not on the basis of academic performance). In my homeroom, 4 of the 12 people received a score of over 2300, even though that corresponds to the top 1% nationally. In some schools, the opposite could hold true.

Also, I would prefer to be intelligent rather than hard-working (high SAT / low GPA).
