It fits my experience, too. I was brainy and unpopular in high school. In college where I was surrounded by many more people like me, I was suddenly cool.

I also want to add that I think girls try to pressure and tease smart girls in order to put them down and make them feel less special. I'm seeing it with DD9. She's smart, pretty, athletic, a class leader, etc. Other girls are starting to say things to her like "your eyebrows are too close together" or "you'll never win that spelling bee, so don't even try". Girls are just plain mean to each other.
