Passion comes out in the interview. Focus comes out in the resume.

Show that you've pursued and have succeeded in things outside of just coursework and finance internships. E.g. play more than one varsity sport or be a nationally ranked chess player. Of course, most candidates "show passion" by having a hobby they really like and can talk about fluently. In an interview setting, they like to see that there's a topic where the candidate's "eyes light up".
This is BS; I don't think anyone is looking for someone with "passion" for finance. Nobody except the most socially retarded human being is passionate about finance.
