I hope you know that all of the responses you get will be sooo very biased.

but anyway, i know like 10ish kids who are gonna be freshman/sophomores at Y next year. They're all really interesting and passionate.

A legacy,
An athlete,
A minority.

Most importantly, "A closet homosexual who does a lot of cocaine. That whole Yale thing" (American Psycho, 2000).

That is a good question. I am not sure, but I do know that every answer you get will be pretty biased. As far as personality goes... well, someone that is inspirational to others I suppose- that would be my best guess, although I am sure you have probably thought about this option already. Good luck!

I'm a freshman at Yale, and one thing that has struck me about other students here is how friendly everybody is. Like seriously, I have yet to meet anybody that I would classify as a jerk. You can get an idea of the kinds of students at Yale by checking out the blog run by some Yale students in Timothy Dwight: Timothy Dwight
