Dell publishes the personal attributes its selection committee looks for as a named list: integrity and ethics, reliability and dependability, service orientation, social and interpersonal skills, teamwork, capacity for improvement, resilience and adaptability, cultural competence, and oral communication. The school was created with a mandate to serve the community of Travis County, particularly its poorest residents, and to make Austin a model healthy city, so health-systems thinking, prevention and community engagement count more than they would at a conventional research school. Leadership, creativity and community engagement are named as advancing the mission.

Watch out: A conventional strong file that shows no health-systems, prevention or community engagement misses what makes this school distinct. Leadership without demonstrated teamwork under-reads against an attribute list that names both separately. Texas residency dominates as at every TMDSAS public school.
