There have always been the token "smart girls" on "America's Next Top Model," from the brainy pre-med Elyse Sewell to Yalie Victoria Marshman. But the cast of the 19th season -- sorry, cycle -- of Tyra Banks' televised modeling showdown may all be "smart girls."
This season the show is titled "America's Next Top Model: College Edition" with each girl repping her specific university. You might assume, then, that these co-eds are brighter than your average "Antm" model wannabes. But why assume when Tyra Banks has the stats on file?
When asked by Glamour whether this season's contestants are smarter than usual, Tyra responded:
"Their IQs are higher than ever. We test the IQs every year as part of our screening process. Yeah, I'm probably saying too much here. But yes their IQs are higher than ever. These are college girls."
Tyra would know, too -- she went to Harvard.

Tyra Banks was honored on Monday by Cosmopolitan as one of the magazine's 2008 Fun Fearless Phenom Award winners -- and "The Insider"'s Victoria Recano caught up with the host of "America's Next Top Model" and "Tyra" to find out just how fearless she is! "For the fun part, I feel I am more goofy and crazy and out there," says Tyra, who would add Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey to the list of Fun Fearless women. "As for the fearless part, I am full of fear, but I think the fearless part is pushing past the fear." One way in which Tyra, who admits to being afraid of dolphins and whales, is fearless is she is not afraid to tell Victoria her weight. The former supermodel says she currently tips the scale at 159 pounds. "You can't be obsessed with a number," she says. "I am more fit than I...
