standardized tests are very stupid IMO, but better than other criteria used for college admission

Not only are standardized tests stupid, but you should research how they measure your "IQ", and what that really is.
I scored just under 1400 on the SATs, but in my defense, I didn't really GO to high school; I maintain that had I not skipped the majority of classes, 1500-1600 would have been attainable. I mean, there's not really anything on that test with great difficulty as you all know. It's more time management and at least being familiar with certain concepts.
I play 8+ tables of 5/10 (6 max).
My grandfather was a genius, graduated Columbia with his Master's when he was 18, taught at Columbia as Professor of Spanish. He spoke several languages. My father went to Princeton University and is a dentist. I went to Harvard University...to hang out near the campus and watch people play chess...I still plan on sneaking into Oxford some day.
