<p>What kind (level) of Politician - other that Wannabe? </p>

<p>Local / State / National ? </p>

<p>Elected or Appointed ? </p>

<p>Different skill sets…</p>

8

<p>@ncmentor</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they all require the same skill set:</p>

<p>Ambitious
Insane
Nefarious
Demonic
Deceitful</p>

9

<p>National-Elected Would be my Dream.</p>

10

<p>“National-Elected Would be my Dream.”</p>

<p>Well then I would check the resumes of people you are hoping to emulate. My guess would be Yale, Georgetown. But you should be asking your Congressmen and Senators. Check on what you need for next years internships in DC. Of course you may want to consider one of the military colleges.</p>

11

<p>Your screen name “Superoerachiever” is telling.</p>

12

<p>so have you done anything else that makes you potential politician material?</p>

<p>Wellesley: High Match
Stanford University: High Reach
Princeton University: Reach
Brown University: Low Reach
Georgetown University: Match
Northwestern University: High Match
