Yes, regression models do shows that IQ correlates with socioeconomic status. But remember that our statistical techniques often tell us about what factors matter on average. In something as messy as human IQ there are going to be people with low status and high SATs. MIT can find those people by filtering for high SAT and low socioeconomic status, however MIT measures it. I would consider the problem of socioeconomic status correlating with IQ to be a different problem. Maybe a bit more equality in society would help.
