Would it be fair to say that if my character tested a high IQ and speaks multiple languages, but doesn't apply himself and gets low grades, he would be a Commoner?

Hmmm... Interesting. I wouldn't see why not, because the definition of a commoner is technically getting into the school via lottery. (I'll add in more info about this later) as long as your character doesn't do anything to gain attention from Caelbury, I'd say that's valid.

I think test scores speak louder than actual grades.

I'd assume the school wouldn't want to pass up someone of his calibre, but also wouldn't want to threaten their own school scores and grades, so would put him on an academic probation of sorts to keep him from singlehandedly ruining their rep with one score. Like all schools, they don't really care if he's a slacker or not unless that threatens the amount of money they make and amount of reputation they an ultimately gain from it. Even if they're handing out scholarships for students who can't afford to get it, but are smarter or better at athletics than most people who are actually attending. The whole loss/gain would actually not be a problem for them if they're upping their test scores with the influx of extremely smart and brilliant minded students, even if they have to spend more money to admit them to their school, in the first place. They would gain more money from wealthy people who want to fund them because they're responsible, reliable, and don't fail to impress. They're gaining more than they're losing, which is also why it's so difficult for people who are so low on the class scale to get in in the first place.

I am treating this as if it were a real school. QQ Well, it is set in the real world, so real world logic applies, especially high-class logic.

Also, damn, Mizuho, I don't even make my personality sections that long. XD And I've written a vignette and novella for my bio/history sections before.
