I don't know that intelligence *should* be a factor in sampling people to become doctors (other than filtering out the subnormal). Certainly in my case intelligence seems to have been a DEselection criteria. I got grades A, B, B, your typical offer iirc was about C, D, D, and your successful candidate typically achieved B, C, C. Certainly I think only ONE of my successful fellow candidates from school got a higher grade.

Absent reliable information one way or the other, I'm happy to assume reasonably random selection (although of course I've missed the fact that school leavers rig the criteria somewhat. That said, so do English Public Schools in the opposite direction, where a lot of people who get good grades come over as "rich and stupid".

However you play it though, my experience of legal work leaves me inclined to put the two letters "in" in front of your average lawyer's competence.

Cheers,
Wol
