Tangent warning. I linked in to Feynman, thinking he would be an "accelerant" but his IQ was estimated to be 125. It appears that he was like Einstein, PG on the math and physics portion but low on the verbal. Didn't get into Columbia but accepted into MIT. Now you can easily get into Columbia when MIT wouldn't put you on the considered list.
The Ivies had hard limits on the numbers of Jewish kids they would accept in that era. It was very explicit. Feynman even mentions this in one of his memoirs. That has more to do with why he didn't get in to Columbia than ability.
