[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]y'all realize that Mensa will let you in on standardized test scores? Look up your grad level test and grade. My '90s era GRE could get me in if I ...filed forms or whatever.

No, OP. It's something people do when they don't live up to their potential. Say they are in Mensa. [/quote]

Yep, just looked up the chart and my old GRE puts me in too. 
I didn't know there are any scholarships associated with it though. If that truly is a thing, I guess I could dig up my kids' WISC and see if he wants to join. Not really sure it's worth it though if you have to pay for the membership.[/quote]

Standardized tests are a common method for entry, although many tests have had acceptance scores change over the years. Many are no longer accepted.

It's useful for meeting gifted people across a wide spectrum. Often people you would otherwise never meet. It's one index of potential, although as others have mentioned, potential and actual achievements do not necessarily coincide.

Utility on an application may depend on the school.
