A FILIPINA girl with a ‘higher IQ than Albert Einstein’ was rejected by Aylesbury  High Grammar School despite being one of the brightest children in the world.
 
Mia Golosino has an IQ of 162 – it is the highest possible score she can get on the test that she took, and it is well over the so-called genius benchmark of 140.

This Achievement  puts her well into the top 1% of people in the world when it comes to brain power, but unfortunately, she was turned down by her preferred choice of school.
 
Her application to Aylesbury High grammar school includes taking an 11-plus examination done privately.

But when letters were sent out earlier this year for the result of application to the school, she received a reason for failing to secure a place in the school due to 'over-subscription'

Her parents, IT manager Jose and full-time mother Mary, then arranged for their 11-year-old daughter to sit a Mensa test to help them appeal the decision of the school.
When the results came back, they were so surprised that she was invited to join Mensa instead..

"We were amazed to find she scored the highest possible mark of 162" – more than Albert Einstein.’ (Einstein is believed to have had an IQ of 160.)

If Aylesbury wanted to change their mind, however, they’re too late – Mia has accepted an offer from a different grammar school, the Royal Latin School in Buckingham, and just maybe, this is destiny's way of having her study on a different school.
"We now think that this is the best school for her to go to," Jose said.
Mary said: "We were waiting for a prospectus to arrive the day that the Mensa test results came through the post."

"Then the letter came through the post saying ‘congratulations’ and I couldn’t believe it. We had completely forgotten about the test until we got the results."

"We couldn’t believe it when we found out. We were absolutely stunned."
Mary added: "Mia puts a lot of pressure on herself and has such little confidence in herself that this is exactly what she needs."

‘She really wants to go to an all girls school because she is big on girl power and didn’t want to be outsmarted by boys, but I think that this has really helped her confidence."

Jose and Mary, who now lives in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, after leaving the Philippines 10 years ago to look for a better life, have asked for Mia’s story to be shared to give hope to other youngsters.

"We thought it might inspire other families whose kids did not get into their preferred school," said Jose.
"Mia had a week to prepare for the IQ test and she did it by playing the Mensa app around 15 minutes everyday."

"The day before, she was told to tidy up the kitchen, play with her three-year-old sister Macy, and help her mum sort things for the new baby, which is due any time now. It was just a normal day."
Mia is a keen swimmer and ballet dancer, she hopes to be a judge when she grows up.
Mary added: "Hopefully her doing this will give her confidence to achieve what she wants in life."
