·       Good personal organisation and time management, allowing for academic achievement, as well as leading a full and balanced life.
·       A good sense of social responsibility, including evidence of caring for others, compassion and empathy. Contribution to school-based activities, particularly those of a mentoring nature.
·       Demonstration of good communication skills, both in listening as well as speaking.
·       Honesty, reliability and trustworthiness.
·       Evidence of the ability to work with peers and teachers, ie in teams.  Are students able to take on a leadership role if needed, as well as integrate, be flexible and co-operate with their colleagues?
·       Early indications of students' ability to take responsibility, which will be expected of them as postgraduates.
·       Evidence that the student is a well-rounded individual, rather than simply an academic. A range of outside interests, eg sporting, creative, musical, etc. will allow for relaxation in a busy course and career, as well as developing a sense of identity with one's future patients.
·       Whether the student is a sociable individual, clearly enjoying the company of their peers?
