i definitely think iq is an indicator of something. i went to a high school where admission was only based on a standardized test. if the theory held that they weren't important in success my school would definitely dispute that. beyond the usual measures of high SAT scores and college admission i was blown out the water by some of my classmates accomplishments during and after high school (i only graduated 3 1/2 years ago) . published authors, actors, paid and influential political consultants, musicians, dancers, models, math and science geniuses, international competitive magicians (yes there was more than one!) etc. i am not sure if there intelligence was a cause or affect but there was definitely a connection.
and sat's probably are an indicator. its not like if there low you'll never succeed but considering college is often a string of tests if you're good at them you'll have an easier time.
