As we build each Goldie Scholar cohort, we seek the most promising students in terms of intellectual strength, demonstrated leadership potential, and personal experiences and contributions. We base our evaluation of criteria on the totality of information available. No single factor—whether your college performance, essays, interview, letters of reference, or work experience—is decisive. We consider each application holistically, and take into account factors such as your background, experiences, perspectives, goals, aspirations, values, and accomplishments.
