Isn't engineering the consolation for people who got filtered from science? I'd say with 120 you're already feeling surrounded by brainlets in engineering.

If you seriously listen to autists on /sci/ where the average iq is that of a genius(barring the trolls, like me). Your iq is probably lower than that.

120 is already smart, silly.

You can get literally any degree with 120 iq. Consequently, even a doctorate says fairly little about what a person is actually capable of.

Yeh.
I am pretty sure I am a brainlet and I got a first class degree with honours with an 82% average from a mediocre uni.
I can go to Oxford or Imperial to do an MSc. Going to Edinburgh instead because it's free.

Mechanical Engineering has a great range of IQs. From 90-145, i'm sure there is some engineering you can do.

Bachelor's - yes. You'd be on the higher part of the threshold. ME is considered one of the less demanding engineering disciplines.

If you want to get graduate degrees, or try a harder engineering discipline, a 120 IQ will work only if you're a non Asian or Arab minority, a woman, or (((white))).
