[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Not doing it for kid. Asking about referencing.

Appreciate those leading with thoughtful and helpful feedback. Sad for those that are coming from place of unkindness and took the time to post a snarky comment instead of being kind. I’m sure many could list it and I was inquiring if it’s helpful or not. No need to be mean. That helps no one. [/quote]

Hello OP-

My Mensa child did include their membership and volunteer activities in the Mensa Honor Society on their app. They had way more activities than the 10 slots allowed, so they combined honor societies together on a single line, so it was lumped in with others.

Helpful or not- don't know for sure but my child was admitted to a half dozen T20 schools, so it surely didn't hurt.

The snark here is ridiculous.

My child continues to enjoy their Mensa membership as a college sophomore and received a substantial college scholarship awarded end of their senior year directly from Mensa. If you child hasn't already considered, have them look up all the different scholarships they are eligible to compete for as a Mensa member. Most required a single short essay and checking boxes as to which scholarships they qualified for (based on intended major).

Good luck![/quote]

Thank you for taking time to share. I wasn’t aware of scholarships as I was never in Mensa or academically strong, so this is all new for our family in trying to identify best way to support our kid who is academically strong student. Appreciate your time and kindness. [/quote]
