<p>I can’t speak from the perspective of a Harvard student, or even a Harvard applicant, but I can say that there’s one thing in common between the ~20 or so Harvard acceptees/students I’ve gotten to know in college. They are all very well-rounded individuals, with passions and interests that extend beyond resume-seeking. They’re particularly driven and self-motivated; even if they don’t know where they’re going, they have the confidence and capability to go anywhere. It’s something I’m regularly impressed by. </p>
<p>Now, are they world-class or genius-level? No, I don’t think that you’ll find a statistical difference in intelligence between students at Harvard and other top institutions. But they are looking for something “more” in a student, and I think it’s best qualified as passion and determination.</p>
