I'm surprised you had the restraint to not post the reason for that SAT score 😛
Oh, I actually didn't think of that and it actually took me a while to realize the point you were trying to make...which reminds me of what one of my good friends told me: "people don't know who you really are until they've heard your story." :laugh:

As long as you can do the 11th degree Masonic handshake (Scottish rite, natch) on your interviews, you're golden. Brothers in the craft can get any residency they want. 😎
 
If I was interviewing someone with Mensa on their application I would play all sorts of mind games with them. I'd probably make them solve some logic puzzles while I kept time with an audible ticker. Then I'd constantly shake my head and make notes. Or, I'd make up some fake secret handshake and then when they don't know it or try to fake bumbling through it I'd accuse them of not really being in Mensa and say that I'll have to report them to the proper residency and Mensa authorities. Or, (to take a page from some frat hazing) I'd give them a "Mensa paddle" and and say that the need to get all the other attendings to sign the paddle after giving them licks. HA! Man that would be some funny stuff to do to some scared spitless interviewee (but if they put Mensa on there then hey, all bets are off).

...at which point they run screaming into the night, "TMI!! TMI!!!"
Nah...they know me well enough that it's not TMI. I don't tell this story to too many ppl in person.
