<p>each school has something that it looks for in its applicants. What does Dartmouth look for? Leadership? Academics? Or atheletics?</p>
<p>Wrong. Every school looks for similar traits. They all want aptitude and drive. It doesn’t matter in what field–just show intelligence and initiative.</p>
<p>I’ve posted this before. Embedded in their admission brochure were specifically mentioned the following traits/characteristics.</p>
<p>Dartmouth looks for:
- curiosity
- passion for ideas
- dedication to learning
- sustained commitment and accomplishment
human qualities: - leadership
- creativity
- sensitivity
- tolerance
- compassion
- integrity
- sense of humor</p>
<p>^ I have never seen this before, but it rings very true.</p>
<p>My sense of humor can get me in? Sweet :)</p>
