I think in addition to the scores, GPA, AP’s and calculus experience mentioned above, it helps to demonstrate a willingness to take on leadership roles in your EC’s and to demonstrate accomplishment in those roles. My S is currently on Wharton’s waitlist, but in a recent conversation with the regional Adcom she seemed to indicate that being a “leader” was a desireable trait. Of course being in a leadership role usually also indicates both a long-term committment to that EC and that you were able to earn some level of respect from both the other kids and the adult advisors/coaches/leaders.
