<p>Whoa, Ava! You are confusing facts you don’t want to hear with belittling. </p>
<p>Colleges aren’t interested in students with the highest IQs; they want students who will work hard, even when an assignment seems silly, and who will complete all of their course work and graduate. Even the most gifted students realize that some classes will be more exciting than others, but all classes need to be successfully completed and dropping out isn’t an option. </p>
<p>You seem to think that your IQ and self-reported giftedness qualifies you to special treatment when it does not. Colleges want graduates, not drop-outs, and as a high school drop-out it is incumbent on you to prove to them that you want to be there and that you have what it takes to graduate. Claims about your potential won’t impress anyone who makes admissions decisions when your academic history screams academic failure, so if you want to attend college, you will have to create a history that suggests you can be an academic success. </p>
<p>Most schools view applicants as humans rather than resumes, but an applicant is still required to provide evidence that she is prepared for college and willing to do what it takes to succeed in college. You want to participate in something that has a few basic rules for participation and you want your IQ to provide you a way to skirt those rules, and that isn’t going to happen.</p>
