9 people in my family went to IIT, NONE of them are even close to being geniuses, what they are are people with above average intelligence who sacrificed their childhood to grind exams.
- screye 5y agoYep, that sounds about right. On balance, every math genius I knew cracked IIT top 1000 (necessary to get CS). But most people who I knew got in, were much more likely to be hard workers rather than geniuses. Not a symmetrical relationship. The majority of IITians are insane hardworkers and give up a lot of personal development to get there.
