And if you pay attention to the article it clearly states Donald was granted admission as a favor by a friendly admissions officer. He transferred in for his last two years after spending two years at Fordham, which is a liberal arts school.
On the relevance of IQ and success at SAT or LSAT examines, there really is none. Those entrance exams are all aptitude tests, not measures of intelligence, reasoning ability, or even general intelligence. There are many tools to measure IQ, but specific aptitude tests are not one of them. I would also add that EQ comes into play when discussing politicians and successful business men. If you are high functioning on the EQ scale, you can get by with limited intelligence. I think Trump is someone with an exceptionally high EQ, but a middling IQ. People with high IQs tend to challenge themselves and expand their understanding of the world around them. People with high EQs tend to rely heavily on their people skills and ability to build relationships to limit their need to know more about the world around them. People with high EQs tend to surround themselves with people that know and can do things they can't. To me it is very obvious which one Trump is and which one he is not. Just some food for thought.
