哈佛大学在本科申请网页上明白地问那些有兴趣的高中生：
- Do you have a direction yet? What motivates you?
- Do you have initiative? Are you a self-starter?
- Where will you be in 1 year? 5 years? 25 years?
- Will you contribute something, somewhere, somehow?
- What sort of human being are you now?
- What sort of human being will you be in the future?
