Non-Academics

The Admissions Committee attends not only to academic performance, but also to non-academic qualities. For the preliminary screening of candidates (short listing for interviews), non-academic qualities are assessed by way of the combined curriculum vitae and personal narrative.

(a) compassion, empathy, care

(b) insight, judgment, common sense

(c) integrity, honesty

(d) adaptability, tolerance, flexibility

(e) creativity, innovation

(f) respect for others

(g) intellectual curiosity

(h) reliability, dependability

(j) ability to deal with conflict or stressful situations

(k) leadership, initiative

(l) sense of assurance despite ambiguity or self-confidence
