Good luck with that law degree. The job market is great for naive 1L internships. Have fun chasing ambulances.
Lol, someone's jelly. Let me break it down to you like a child.

Firstly, the contention had nothing to do with intelligence. Rather, it was about education. But let me guess: an Ivy League school has nothing to do with education, either -- am I right? I know man, I know. You went to community college because the man wanted to keep you down. But books are just books, anyway. Ivy League doesn't mean anything. Besides, you can totally quad-kite. I get it dude. One day you're breaking out of that McDonald's. Just you wait, world. But in the mean time, do me a favor. Don't forget the ketchup.

And since you're so concerned with intelligence, let's move on to that.

SAT scores are highly correlated with both IQ scores and general intelligence. Average SAT score among those admitted to Ivy League schools, undergrad: ~1450/1600. Average SAT score: 1016. And to address your adorable concerns about class-based advantages, the average SAT score for the highest income bracket -- households with annual income of over $200,000 -- was 1142. Meaning even your upper-class college applicants are ~ 300 points short of Ivy League averages. So yes: you need to be smart (read: very, very smart) to be accepted to an Ivy League university. This was obvious to everyone who, you know, reads -- but hey: literacy has got nothing to do with intelligence, either.

To recap: you took a thread that had nothing to do with intelligence and still managed to make yourself look like a dumbass. Keep going, pal. This is going to turn out really well for you. I can feel it.
