2023 學員報名表評選建議

What We Look For
We seek promising students who will contribute their communities—academic, social, local, national—in the future and to society throughout their lives.
While academic accomplishment is important, we consider many other factors—strong personal qualities, special talents or excellences of all kinds, perspectives formed by unusual personal circumstances, and the ability to take advantage of available resources and opportunities.
In our application review process, we give careful, individual attention to each applicant. We seek to identify students who will be the best educators of one another—individuals who will inspire those around them during the conference and beyond.
As we read and discuss your application, many questions will be on our minds. Some things we consider:

Growth and potential
  • Have you reached your maximum potential?
  • Have you been stretching yourself?
  • Do you have reserve power to do more?
  • How have you used your time?
  • Do you have initiative? Are you a self-starter? What motivates you?
  • Do you have a direction yet? What is it? If not, are you exploring many things?
  • Where will you be in one, five, or 25 years? Will you contribute something to those around you?
  • What sort of human being are you now? What sort of human being will you be in the future?
Interests and activities
  • Do you care deeply about anything—intellectual? Extracurricular? Personal?
  • What have you learned from your interests? What have you done with your interests? How have you achieved results? With what success or failure? What have you learned as a result?
  • In terms of extracurricular, athletic, community, or family commitments, have you taken full advantage of opportunities?
  • What is the quality of your activities? Do you appear to have a genuine commitment or leadership role?
Character and personality
  • What choices have you made for yourself? Why?
  • How open are you to new ideas and people?
  • What about your maturity, character, leadership, self-confidence, warmth of personality, sense of humor, energy, concern for others, and grace under pressure?
Contribution to the community
  • Will you contribute something to HTLC 2022 and to other students? Will you benefit from the conference experience?
  • Would other students want to room with you, share a meal, be in a homeroom together, be teammates, or collaborate in a closely knit extracurricular group?
