Not Really. Most students at top university could qualify for Mensa if they tried. It's only top 2%.</p>

<p>I'm sitting at JHU right now and I had lower stats then you.</p>

<p>personally I think mensa tests have a heavy american bias. A lot of analogies with SAT words that most foreigners would not know. A simple game of memorization rather than a test of logical thinking.</p>
