Academic excellence: its primary standard for assessing applicants is their academic histories. Intellectual vitality: The university also hopes to find students who prove intellectual vigor in all aspects of their lives. Extracurricular activities/non-academic interests: it is also interested in your dealings outside of the classroom through your extracurricular involvements and your other quests. Context: it examines all parts of your application such as your background, educational opportunities, and so on.
