Northwestern Ranked #4 in "Smartest" College Study

<p>MIT</a>, Harvard, & Stanford top list of 50 smartest colleges in America | VentureBeat</p>

<p>A very interesting article. I'm a bit indifferent about the studies and labeling a school the "smartest" because of a small sample size. But, either way, the list falls fairly accurately in terms of the "best" universities being on the top, save for Princeton.</p>

<p>I definitely think it’s not the most reliable, but it’s a cool fact nonetheless. It definitely correlates pretty well with top colleges.</p>

<p>There is clear evidence that this type of IQ test is real and respected. Princeton Univ. is doing research on this.</p>

<p>Such a stupid, mindless study. The Nobel Prize is a better measure of intelligence and is perhaps more highly regarded than Lumosity. Maybe if the students at MIT and Stanford spent less time playing games and more time studying they would have as many Nobels as UChicago, Cambridge, and Columbia.</p>

<p>UChicago alums have won about four times as many Nobels as Stanford alums.</p>

<p>And does it surprise you that the researcher is from Stanford:</p>

<p>Shows the intelligence level of most venture capitalists… But, yes, do believe every marketing press release put out on the internet.</p>

<p>Calm down, kid. You obviously a bit of an inferiority complex going on and that’s fine, but keep your mindless rants away from our forum.</p>

<p>This sounds like a legit study, a measure of raw intelligence at a given point in time. Congratulations, Northwestern!</p>

<p>Does this mean that Princeton guys are nerdy?</p>
