no unless you're going to school to be a truck driver or something like that.

Harvard Driving School will look favorably on it.

Yes. Passing a driving test converts to a 2300+ on the SAT. Everyone knows that.

If you have a pilot license that might help, but for a driver's license, I don't think it's any more helpful than a fishing license, even for Harvard Driving School. The courses (e.g. 360-Excavator Operations 101) you take there assume that you know how to drive a regular car already.

What helps a lot though, is a University Admissions License. You can get it by becoming a Nihilist and bang your head on a wall while chanting the telephone directory in Swahili.

hahaha but if you DON'T have a license it would probably be best not to mention that on your app.
