[quote=Anonymous]If you look at student stated 1's in each category - the best of the best- you can easily see that personality is NOT a big factor in terms of numbers of admitted students:

Candidates who Excel on One Dimension and acceptance rate at Harvard:
1. Academic rating of 1, no other 1s 663 68% 
2. Extracurricular rating of 1, no other 1s 453 48% 
3. Personal rating of 1, no other 1s 41 66% 
4. Athletic rating of 1, no other 1s 1,340 88%

41 students vs 1,340 students. And if your look at numbers 
admitted you best chance is to rank high in athletics. 
66% of 41 is 25
88% of 1,340 is 1172. 
So 25 students entered because of their amazing personality vs. 1172 admitted vs their amazing athletic ability. 
I would guess the 25 admitted students with amazing personality might be famous actors, been really national newsworthy, YouTube sensation, etc. something that clearly sets them apart.

What is the percentage of student athletes at Harvard who are of Asian-American decent?
