Ren scholars are selected because they are unique and interesting people who will make a positive impact on the school. They are all good students with strong test scores and GPAs, but also kids who have something extra to offer.

In my D’s case, I believe she was selected because of her outstanding community service record. (And while she does have her own ‘overcoming adversity’ story–that was the one thing she didn’t write about or talk about in any of her essays or interviews.)

And she’s a kid who is making an impact on campus–she’s only a freshman, but already she’s TAing Calc 2 and is a nominee for this year’s Simeon Cheatham Award for community service to children.
