Luo is Presidential Scholar Semifinalist

4/22/2010

Michelle Luo '10 has been named one of approximately 560 semifinalists in the 2010 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program.

The semifinalists were selected from more than 3,000 candidates on the basis of superior achievements, leadership qualities, personal character, and involvement in community and school activities.

Final selection of the Scholars will be made by the Commission on U.S. Presidential Scholars, a group of eminent citizens appointed by the President, and will be announced in May.

The 560 semifinalists in the program’s academic component were initially selected as candidates for their exceptional performance on either the College Board SAT or the ACT Assessment. They were chosen by a panel of distinguished educators after a review of students’ essays, self-assessments, descriptions of activities, school recommendations, and school transcripts.

Congratulations and good luck, Michelle!
