Mensa

Applying to College
1

<p>How beneficial is it to be admitted to Mensa in the college admissions process?</p>

<p>Or, to simply put:</p>

<p>How good does it look on an activities/honors resume?</p>

2

<p>No. It makes you look a tad arrogant.</p>

<p>Colleges are more interested about what you're accomplishing rather than the potential that you're wasting.</p>

3

<p>It's quite funny that "mensa" is spanish for a dumb female. </p>

<p>Talk about a paradox!</p>

4

<p>It's useless, basically what WindSlicer said.</p>

5

<p>?? i though mensa was table</p>

<p>if jessica simpson is qualified to be in mensa, i don't think they'll really care</p>

6

<p>Darn, I thought it was worth something...</p>

7

<p>It's useless. What colleges care about is what you do with your intelligence, not what your IQ score is.</p>

8

<p>maributt, table is "mesa", "mensa" is stupid girl</p>

9

<p>In Latin, "mensa" is table.</p>

Why ?</p>

12

<p>You have to be in the top 2% of the population score wise to join mensa, and most people getting into top colleges are in the top 2% score wise.</p>

13

<p>Yup. As far as high IQ societies go, Mensa is one of the least competitive.</p>

14

<p>Who cares? Mensa used to qualify its members based on SAT scores in the past. It's just a way of saying that you can get high scores.</p>

15

<p>I could probably get into MENSA, but I don't want to because I'd be surrounded by tons of people who are even more inteligent. Last I checked, I would be on the lower end of people who could qualify.</p>

<p>Funny, how "esposas" in Spanish is both wives and handcuffs.</p>
