At state schools you get a LOT more variation. The Roissy article nails it regarding obesity and cognitive divergence and I see this trend getting worse. I went to a state school for undergrad and an elite private for grad school and the elite private on the low end had almost no land whales. My state school had them by the truckloads.
It's all about demographics. There is a positive correlation between facial attractiveness and IQ. The better off a girl grew up the less chance she'll be fat and/or ugly, and rich girls do very well academically because she inherited her parents smarts that made them rich, plus better schools, tutoring etc. But when you get to the very top academically things reverse face wise, hot girls have better things to do then get literally perfect grades, whereas plain looking rich girls don't have all those distractions.
Looks vary a lot but what they study as well. The law school at my university is extremely selective and has more stunners than anywhere else I've ever seen, but you won't find much talent among girls who actually do Engineering or anything heavy in math.
