<p>Glad to answer your question! It was out of Scholar loyalty- and all in good fun.
I really haven’t found there to be a pecking order between the honor programs. The selection processes are different enough so it isn’t as if one group is somehow better or worse. People are picked for reasons beyond GPA and SAT scores. They must meet minimum reqs but Danas, Scholars, and RJs must also have qualities that match the goal of the program. I believe RJs and Danas have financial need taken into consideration and directors have the first choice out of the applicant pool. I’m not sure if both or just RJs have a seperate essay application. Scholars are chosen soley on merit out of the remaining pool. So who goes where may be anyone’s guess. I’m sure students with superior qualifications may have been passed over by RJs (and then accepted by the Scholars) because they didn’t have enough financial need AND that Scholars have lost some great applicants because they were snatched up by the RJs first. There is a system of give-and-take between them all. Again, there is fun rivalry but no -real- belief of superiority.</p>
