There has been a thread on how low admissions chances are for your average excellent student. I think we should turn the tables on that thread and ask "What make a candidate an 'above average' excellent student?"
I'm not entirely sure. I am not talking about the following:
URM
Recruited Athletes
Art, music, theater majors (where talent is more important that academics)
For students who are not one of the above what puts them above the average smart kid?
