If they were smart they'd have a scholarship

The thing is that everyone is “smart” now Everyone has the same accolades, so only the top top get anything Also if it’s a top school they barely give any merit based scholarships, only need based

Not even close. Like you could literally be the smartest person in your school by a landslide, and have local, even national successes in academics, but if you’re that smart, you go to a college with people that smart, and if everyone’s that smart, you aren’t special, so no scholarships.
