Dude rocks his sawed-off frame like it’s a Purple Heart, so he can’t be too much of a pretender.

LSU students are equal to Ivy Leaguers 60% of the time, every time.

“Nobody” is a pretty strong definitive statement, with thousands of graduates.
Considering the amount of diversity, legacy and athletic admits, it’s assuredly false.
Although, “dumb” is subjective, as is “intelligent”

well that can't be further from the truth
As long as a graduate isn't from an HBCU companies give zero fricks.
Graduate school there are much better resources at Ivys in most cases. If you're trying to go academia after PhD it's best to go ivy.
But, undergrad big state schools give as much if not more opportunities.

I'd question the wits of any student that chose LSU over Ivy League.
Please proceed.
I have one that was accepted. She, no pics, chose LSU Honors for undergrad. We consulted several doctors, she wants to go to Medical School, and EVERY SINGLE ONE pointed her in the direction of go to the undergrad school where it will be paid for 100% by scholarships. She had choices of scholarships. She chose LSU. The next step after LSU will hopefully acquire a different level and she has a few schools that she would like to attend.

The gender studies major from Columbia freelancing for the NYT is exactly the kind of person I would call dumb.
She got in on the basis of diversity and was never held to the same standard as her engineering classmates.

Almost assuredly not, most of you have no problem telling every detail or your boring lives

Tell us more about how you don’t eat dairy, work for H&R Block, and live in a condo you didn’t pay for.

Only one of those is true, which one, who could say

I think probably the top 20 percent are of comparable intelligence to the average Ivy League student, and probably slightly more could make it academically there if admitted. I think up to half of LSU students are as intelligent as many subgroups of students at Ivy League schools.
I think you are very close with 20%, but more than half of LSU students could matchup with the bottom tier of ivies. They let in too many rich kids, legacies, and racial quotas.

My grandson had full ride scholarships to his choice of MIT, Harvard, Georgetown and Northwestern, but was diagnosed with a health issue and opted to attend LSU, full ride, to stay close to home and his doctor's. He's entering his junior year. I'm sure there's plenty of others there like him.

Here's a far more important question from a societal point of view: How many are equally liberal?
The vast majority of them are. At the very least even the more right leaning ones would be described by this board as “Never Trumpers.”
That doesn’t mean they’re “dumb” or stupid. Most are extremely intelligent individuals, it’s just that their world view is so warped that whatever intelligence they have is basically moot.

They get in because they have the academic credentials to get in, or they are legacies with elite parents or athletes with decent grades. Diversity at these schools can be achieved without taking dumb people. What they pursue is another matter altogether, but they are not dumb.
I went to a public university and met few people I would consider “dumb.” Then again, I grew up in a small town where you went to school with people who actually were dumb, so my bar could be too low and my opinion worthless as a result.
