Well I guess I take back what I said ... I would now argue that in High school it's a HELL of a lot easier to be a "plodder", do REALLY well grade wise, but not necessarily be that "smart" than in college. In college they generally don't have the daily homework/participation points as many classes in high school do... so yeah college is more about true "smartness" as it were...
But plodding can still get you somewhere even in college.
Because even though I am (well, was, I just graduated) a broadcast/communications major... I still had to take Chem. and I did end up taking Calculus... and although it was hard for me.. (Trust me I'm NOT a math person) if you plod... (go to office hours, seek out tutoring help provided on campus) you can end up doing well in the class.
