I'm in what most people consider to be a top house and we start with a base line: excellent grades, an ACT above 27 or 28, attractive (which doesn't mean beautiful, but rather well put together) and excellent recs. Then we look at what the person will add to our house. It might be an outstanding background in science or math (to help others in the house pass those tough required classes), it might be photography skills for our website or Facebook page, it might be a great singing voice for skits or piano ability or athletic skills at the state or national level. It's never one thing. But we really just don't take anyone who is typical. If a person looks great on paper, they also have to pass the strictest test of all: being a good conversationalist and coming across as someone we can see ourselves being friends with for the long haul. It's hard to explain, but there just has to be a certain quality.
