Re: relationship between SAT scores and intelligence?
[ QUOTE ]
as an aside - i attended Wisconsin (madison), which is one of the highest rated public schools in the upper midwest, for 1 year. i attended perhaps 10-15% of my class sessions and achieved a 3.1 GPA. I attended UW-River Falls, which is a school anyone can get into, for a year, and put in probably, i dont know, 20 times more effort to get a 2.8.

This is more common than most people realize. I've known plenty of undergraduates from Amherst College and Columbia University who graduated with around 3.2-3.4 GPA's, whose actual academic work would not compare favorably to someone coming from the University of Louisville at the time I attended with the same GPA.
