Straight from the Office of Admissions

We attempt to gather all the repeat questions from Hypersphere (on www.gethyperconnected.com) and get answers from current admissions officers. One such question is:

Beyond ranking, GPA, course rigor, and awards and honors,  what kind of student would thrive and excel at your school? How do you assess for this quality while reviewing the student’s application 

We reached out to all the top colleges in the country and here is one of the responses from a top UC ( more northern CA bound)

“We want to see our students ACTIVELY ENGAGED in whatever it is they do – be it the major they are interested in or any of their passion. We want students to come to our campus and enrich our campus. If your passion is studying outer space, we want to see someone who can work with the faculty, work in the labs, observatory etc. Students who are willing to push themselves and bring their fullest to their community”
