<p>Just a whim here: Would becoming a member of Mensa help on a college application?</p>
<p>No. What colleges care about is what one does with one's intellect as measured by grades, class rank, etc.</p>
<p>The question has been discussed a few times.</p>

<p>Thanks, sherpa, for the links to the earlier threads. </p>
<p>No, Mensa doesn't help college applications at all.</p>
<p>It would help as much as...</p>
<p>... being on the Honor Roll</p>
<p>what if u have a 200 IQ? like seriously</p>
<p>not that i do</p>
<p>An IQ score of 200 would not come from a current, well validated test.</p>
