    Not really overly impressive when you compare the SAT and GPA to the very top elite.

    I knew guys with better SATs and grade points who took harder majors.
    Of course he was playing football and did graduate in 2.5 years so that is pretty tough.

    Standardized tests aren't a good way to really know real IQ either.
    I had to take the GRE prior to getting into graduate school. I bought a $30 program (been a few years ago) to prep for the exam because it had been so long since I had any college. I ended up with a 1950 score which translates to something like a 195 IQ. Those on this board can testify I'm not really that smart.

    Can't believe people are sitting here harping on Myron Rolle's SAT score.

    The guy is a Rhodes Scholar FFS. How many of your buddies with better SAT scores ended up getting a Rhodes Scholarship?

    I don't understand the 1340 SAT score. I really hope that's on 2, not on 3. If that's on 3, that's pitiful.

    I got 1200/1810 on my SATs two years ago.

    I'm still nowhere near him but that is awful for a 3 score.

    He's a year older than me...and it was the year that I graduated that they had the 3 score. So i'm pretty sure it's the 2 score otherwise it'd be really bad.

    It's obviously a 2 score geez. Who cares, we are in the middle of an important season, this stuff isn't even worthy of July forum fodder.

    Hey, screw you "tests aren't a good measure of intelligence" people... I beat a Rhodes scholar!

    There are too many different parts of intelligence, it's hard to measure them all. My buddy from highschool missed one question on the SAT, and knew which question when he walked out, and I still wouldn't trust him not to get lost in the airport. Common sense, focus, work ethic, all are hard to measure.

    Stop making me feel stupid, 1340 isn't that good on the SAT, really? I got an amazing 1460 my first time....out of 2400!

    Standardized testing is not a great indicator of intelligence and potential. There are a lot of people that have the GPA and the resumé with average test scores, it's pretty apparent that Myron is one of those exceptions.
