A college-level IQ these days means something low like 100 -- you're probably thinking of a more stringent standard.

An IQ of 100 is supposed to represent the mean score of the general population.

The average IQ of someone with a college degree is a good bit higher than that. From a quick Google search it looks like it's around 115, which is a standard deviation higher than the general population.

I was referring to more of a minimum than an average.

I was under the impression among people with undergraduate degrees it was closer to 110-115.

Isn't half the population below 100? How can you consider that low?

That's lower than half the population.

Because it's terrible.

Pretty much the same way we can consider the median personal income ($31,100 in 2016 - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA646N ) "low". Because it's low.
