I have worked with some Harvard students and they have all been intelligent. Their weakness has been a lack of humility and a refusal to accept that they can be wrong about some things. But to answer your question, I think you can be about 99.9% certain that someone who is a Harvard student is intelligent.

I did my graduate studies there, and my impression was that Harvard students, regardless of their background, were all intelligent people.
While being the son or daughter of an alumnus probably counts for a few points in the admissions process, it doesn't result in any strange results where totally incompetent students would be admitted.
Many applicants are academically strong enough to attend Harvard, many times more than there are spaces in each freshman class. As a result, the school pretty much gets to pick entering students in order to get the sort of geographical distribution it wants.

Most of them yes. And some of them paid their way in. But its not so much that you have to be a genius to get in, you just have to study your *** off, among other things. But Harvard its not that different than any other respected universities. The only real difference is that Harvard is much more rigorous and strict and has a law school, but if you not looking to be a judge or lawyer, you can get the same education you would at any other state university.

A Harvard student plagiarized several major authors... that is hardly intelligent.

I'm sure they have a higher ratio of smart people to dumb people than our local high school but Harvard is just like any other group of people. There will always be a good handful of idiots that somehow slip through the cracks.

NO. A couple of weeks ago I was driving and there was a car in the lane next to me and he cut me off ... TWICE. Didn't even LOOK before he changed lanes. He had a Harvard decal across his back window. At the next light I pulled up next to him, rolled down my window, and told him he should have enrolled in Driver's Education while he was at Harvard. He looked pretty surprised, but he didn't cut me off anymore.

I watch a lot of C-Span, Frank is an elementary characteristic on there. he's a waste of time and area. He spends all of his conversing time attacking Republicans, extra like a Democratic political pundit than a representative. He looks extra prepared approximately what the Bush administration did interior the previous than what he is going to do shifting forward. Dodd is yet another Democrat it quite is oftentimes blamed, yet to his credit i will declare that a minimum of he looks to the destiny for advancements and is inclusive, dare I say bi-partisan, and makes use of his time properly in congress. VOTE HIM OUT!

Yes. They're either smart enough to make the grades to get in, smart enough to thwart the tough application process, or smart enough to convince their folks to pay for the ridiculous tuition. The classes are incredibly difficult, so even if all current students are not intelligent enough to make the grades to get in, all graduates are intelligent.
