So recently, I found out that I was eligible to become a Mensa member. I've always regarded IQ as rather frivolous, and always scoffed at people who brag about theirs, but I'm having a tough time making up my mind about joining. Since this is CC, I'll stick to the issues relevant to the application... If I do join, is it something noteworthy enough to put on my application? Will it at all improve my chances of admission? Will it be seen as really pompous by the adcoms to put membership of a high IQ society on the app?
I don't know. Should I join? The fees are quite steep (yes, I have to pay out of my own pocket... parents think it's useless and refuse to pay for it...), and I'm not sure membership will really impress the adcoms that much anyways (they probably get tons of them each year :(). Advice?
