I know there's a wonderlic thread already, but Manningham scoring a 6 deserves it's own thread...... - Page 3 - SpartanTailgate.com

This 6 is definitely something to blast. Maybe if you had found better scores to rip you wouldn't have looked like such an ass.

degreedo, ripping LoneWolf is pointless. He is this board's MM.

Wow (unless I'm in the 10% here...)

I'm still trying to figure out if he was serious, too.

I really do, but WR is one of the easiest positions on the field. Michael Irving and Jerry Rice aren't the brightest guys, but they are HOF'ers. It is laughable believe me: I'm sure my 4 yr. old could get a 6, BUT it won't effect his draft status as much as alot of you think. However, if you combine it with his "chronic" problem and the lies..........I could see a late 2nd or early 3rd round drop. Oh well, couldn't happen to a better guy.

BTW: Quincy Carter scored a 30? Hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm thinking the test can certainly be beat by getting lucky and guessing.

2 years ago I actually had to take a wonderlic for a job with General Mills. It was highly competitive (interviewing 3000 kids across the country for 12 openings). The "first round" was strickly a personally test and wonderlic, and depeding on the results you would get a call back. I was told they took the top 10%. Needless to say I got a call back.

The trick is to answer as many questions as possible. There were 64 questions and we had like 18 minutes. I just blew through and answered all the easy questions, then went back to finish the tougher ones.

There is no penalty for wrong answers, and there are about 40 multiple choice/ true false. Just by filling in all the answers as TRUE or picking A,B,C you would finish with much better than a 6. My guess would be that players who score around 12-16 probably just guess and answer all the questions.

If MSU was as selective as Northwestern there would be a lot of empty dorm rooms and Cedar Village would have been torn down years ago. MSU would have about 50% to 60% of its current undergrad population max. Getting into UW Madison just as or more difficult than getting into umaa and neither is as tough as NU or Stanford, especially for athletes.

What the test results showed was Henne was at least as smart as I was told he was. The rap on him was not being very motivated for 2 summers until his last one (junior/senior)

It's no easier than any other school in the country.

I'm sensing a lot of tension between you and your co-worker. You seem to mention him in every single thread that I've clicked on today. Maybe you should just get a hotel room and get it over with

What can I say. There's a lot of UM topics on the board today and he's a jackass.

Even that seems high.

Northwestern's average ACT score is about a 30 (which translates to a little under 700 points in each section of the SAT-- 1400 in the old scale, 2100 in the new scale). Their average student is also in the top 10% of their class.

The Honors College at MSU has about 3,000 members. The requirement to get into the HC at MSU as an incoming freshman is being in the top 5% of your class OR getting a 30 or above in the ACT (or the SAT equivalent). About 1,000 of those 3,000 got in through the Academic Scholars program (they didn't initially meet the minimum requirements for HC) or through application after their first semester of school (didn't initially meet the requirements either). That leaves us with 2,000, a little under 5% of the MSU population.

Take into consideration the fact that MSU accepts EVERYONE that meets those requirements into the Honors College... Northwestern only accepts about 30% of all the students that apply (most who have grades good enough to get into the HC at MSU).

We're really comparing apples to oranges... we're not even in the same league as NU in terms of admissions. I'd say maybe 3-5% of MSU could have gotten into Northwestern.

Fair enough

I know NU is a great school and the standards for the athletes are very high. I wasn't ripping on NU. I get tired listening to this crap from people like Larry Foote and Jalen Rose on how they are smarter than athletes at other schools. I can't believe they think they would get into Michigan based on their intelligence.
