是什么使得这四名学生从37000多名大陆地区申请者中脱颖而出的呢?他们身上的哪些品质打动了哈佛呢?

哈佛的招生官看重什么?
招生官布莱斯·吉尔菲尔连称,他们所希望看到的,是一个知道自己是谁,知道自己想要成为什么的学生,他们更想要了解学生的所思所想,因此在简历中,申请者需要帮助招生官在短时间内更加全面地了解自己。
Bryce says that they want to know as much as possible within several pages about the applicants: who they are and what they want to be. They prefer students with unique personality and creative ideas.
此外,他们也格外关注潜力,他们首要考虑的是学生将来可以为国家、为世界做些什么。
They also stress the importance of potential. What can the student do for his or her country and also for the world?
