“Or equivalent” is the key. Students with GEDs do NOT get into selective colleges without a lot of special circumstances.
And whatever the demographics are, the average IQ is what the average IQ is.
There is a 4 year old in Great Britain with a tested IQ of 159. She’s right up there with Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Who said anything about students with GEDs going to selective colleges? I was commenting on our overall student body having a relatively low average IQ.
You posited that 25% of students dropped out of high school, but I gave you a recent statistic that it is only 7.4%.
