What do Admission Officers want?

Jacques Steinberg, an Education Reporter for the New York Times and author of The Gatekeepers had a great interview posted in the Jewish Ledger. Here are the main points he discovered while investigating college admissions-
1) Follow your passions
2) Grades and Test Scores do matter
3) There are just too many qualified applicants to accept
4) Admission Officers and not concerned with a formula, but they seek to "build a community"
5) Each application receives consideration
