Do you believe average intelligence people can go to Harvard if they believe in God?

Not a chance. They would be destroyed. You can't go into a college environment as a person of faith unless you're an extremely good student with above-average intelligence. Because you need to make good enough grades to compensate for the discrimination when they try to drive you out.

Thanks for the MHO, Jennifer. :)

Unless you are black or super rich then no. You would have to be really smart.

Yes. People think intelligence is what gets them places when it's not that at all. Being an attentive student with a good track record is more important than being intelligent. Not saying intelligence doesn't play a role, it definitely does, but it's not the be-all-end-all of what makes a successful career. Also there are professors and scientists who believe in God, Einstein believed in God. Faith is something less common nowadays among scientists back then because of how culture has changed and how the acceptance of atheism and other religions have gotten, however you can be religious and get a good education even when you're of average intellect.

I don't know if any person with an average intelligence can go to Harvard 😄

I don't see what average intelligence has to do with believing in God in relation to being accepted at Harvard. Unless you're implying that smart people don't believe in God.
