<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>So I’m a bit curious, what do you think one typically has to accomplish before being accepted into Harvard College? What do most applicants have, and what makes the ones that are accepted different? Leave your thoughts below, I hope we can make a “Checklist” of what Harvard wants.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>List doesn’t really exist - the process is purposely holistic to grant discretion to the admissions committee to make up the most diverse class possible.</p>
<p>Really, the commonalities are academically concerned individuals who have passion/care doing something personally meaningful.</p>
<p>Item #1: a familiarity with what each college themselves cite as criteria versus a haphazardly guessed-at assembled list by mostly high school students.</p>
