How are scholar applications judged?
We value ethnic, cultural, racial, socioeconomic and geographic diversity among applicants and schools. Applications will be read carefully by multiple people who serve on the selection committee. Much like the college application process, the selection committee will look for well-rounded individuals with diverse interests and will weigh their decisions on a number of criteria, including rigorous course selection, high grade point averages, civic engagement and extracurricular activities. We’re seeking passionate and intellectually curious young people, who are rising leaders in their schools and communities. We also consider standardized test scores: higher scores will be deemed more competitive.
