plus remember that no one likes a bastard and they have to actually want to accept you.

A guy at the interviews at the college I applied to missed his interview at 11:00- one of the helpers then told us he was claiming he thought the interview was at 11pm. :s-smilie:

im guessing he got an offer in the end? :p:

id say basically your academic capability
not what kind of a person you are, what kind of a student you are
when i applied they sent me lots of letters telling me what theyre looking for with words like 'teachability'- they want you to understand what your subject its really about and be really interested, intuitive and probing

i personally think you cant go wrong sampling a few academic books in your subject in preparation

Everyone is talented and have A's.

What you really need is 1) almost tangeable passion 2) evidence of commitment to your subject beyond the curriculum.

Those two qualities in abundance will serve you well...
