What do colleges look for in students?
First, there is no secret sauce or fixed formula behind admissions to these top colleges. All these colleges are looking for strong students who can bring a diversity of ideas, and the ability to manage the course load and graduate.
Second, the “Holistic” process of application review is very simple. The process of application review is based on a number of simple criteria. They use all these data points including the school’s reputation and performance of previous classes, to make an assessment if the student will be able to join and cope with the rigor of college studies, bring a diversity of ideas, learn from the college years to develop and try to give back to society, community, etc.
