If I ran a college I would look for students that showed somehow that they can make the best of any situation. How would they do that? I think that for some people they can reflect that with good grades and high scores on the SAT. For others that are not able to score as high as others, they need to show dedication, motivation, and tenacity in other ways. If I were a college admission officer I would look for students that succeed even if they are not the best or brightest. I would want people to be the best person they can be, without needing to be told the school's requirements. I would want to see people who go above and beyond, looking for anyway to better themselves.
I believe that test scores can measure some amount of intelligence, but I don't think that intelligence will define success. I believe that someone can be successful no matter what intelligence they were born with. Success comes in so many shapes and sizes, and so does intelligence. Today, we talked about multiple intelligences. I think that one intelligence is not better than another, all of them are equal and the world need all of them. If I were a college admissions officer I would want to look for a balance and variety of intelligences from students.
