A lot of what is being said is true. You obv. need good grades, and some ec.

However, I can tell you from firsthand experience with 4 close friends who are Ren. Scholars.

everyone has good grade. Honestly, 80% of ppl who go here have high HS GPA, and high test scores.

What all the Ren. Scholar has in common is unique life stories.

So unless there is something unusual in your past, good grades and scores don’t really give u any advantage. It’s more about how you overcame something to be where u are now.

And that is conveyed via the essays.
