That and a short skirt never hurts your chances:wink:
 
If they ask you if you have any leadership qualities tell them no. Tell them you are a natural-born follower down to the DNA in every nucleus of every cell. This will put you in high demand at any college, as every other respondent to that question always answers that, yes, they are a natural leader. Hey, somebody has got to do the following, right?

HEY! You're a chopnik, right? No problem. You'll get in.:wink:
