Interesting point you raise about intelligence in university Yakk. I came to the conclusion after seeing friends enter into and complete medical school, that you don't have to be intelligent to be in meds (or pick any university programme). You just had to be disciplined, and work smart.
there's a difference between smarts and intelligence. Unforunately I learned none of this until it was too late. You see I wasn't smart enough, nore disciplined enough. this is where I really believe that parents can influence a kid's capability by developing the discipline at an early age. Work smart and don't procrastinate, as it take twice the effort to catch up as it does to knock something off at a good pace the first time around....
