[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1966926, member: 5151"] The "gifted" programs we had were for scholarship padding. Jocks and cheerleaders outnumbered geeks and nerds 5:1. Based on some of my peers in those groups, the bar was set really low by those rewarding the scholarships or the merit of the student's eligibility was based on the school's honor. Or there might have been something in the local water supply. I mean, 1 in 4 students were in the program... Anyway, I'm probably going to get around to taking the test. I keep having people tell me that I should. I don't need it, and its too social for my tastes, but maybe it will help me network a little better. I'm sure "Mensa Member" will look real nice next to "first semester college dropout" and "3-flat high school graduate" on my resume. What I really wish is that Oklahoma would let you take the bar exam without a freakin' degree. That'd get those folks that tell me I should have gone to law school off my back. [/QUOTE]
