Colleges choose students based on their own institutional needs. Will this student bring something to campus community? Will this student contribute to an academic or extracurricular program that is important to the college? Will the student add energy and perhaps a different perspective to college community? First and foremost, colleges must select students who are academically qualified, but from that point, the process is about class-building and adding a variety of individuals who will further the college’s mission and enrich its campus.
