Are you saying that say MIT and Caltech students don't have higher than average IQ? It's almost a certainty that they do and I'm sure it extends to the Ivy league and other elite schools.
- nineplay 3y agoI'll bet that most students with good grades who are applying to elite colleges have higher than average IQs. MIT and Caltech are not Ivy League but even then I'm sure they have a lot of students who benefit from private schools, private tutors, and pricy college prep programs. What differentiates the ones who get accepted from the ones who don't?

That wasn't your claim: > You're assuming that people who are admitted to Ivy League schools a) have higher IQs than average and b) have parents with higher IQs than average. >What differentiates the ones who get accepted from the ones who don't? At Caltech and MIT? Possibly the most meritocratic schools in the US? Idk, .001 on your GPA or a single point on your SAT and AP scores? Or the fact that you didn't win an IOM medal or Intel Talent Search?
