For School Counselors

School Counselors often ask what makes a great Roan candidate. Our best answer to that question? 
We are looking for the exceptional individuals within your senior class who:

• Have a strong ability (plus the desire and drive) to identify and solve problems

• Set the bar high and influence and inspire others to be better

• Make a significant positive impact on their school and in the community, and want to do even more in the future

Strong Roan candidates also tend to be those who: 

• Strive for excellence in all they do – in the classroom, on the athletic fields, in student organizations, or in other activities throughout the community. Their involvement may follow more traditional paths, or forge new ones.

• Engage and serve because they’re truly interested. They care. They want to make a difference. And they have the capacity and drive to do so.

• Are respected and admired by their fellow students, as well as by teachers, administrators, and community leaders. They will leave big shoes to fill when they graduate.

Finally, they tend to possess strong academic credentials: last year, for example, Roan applicants had an average GPA of 3.9 and average composite ACT score of 25.8. More important than their academic success, though, is their intellectual curiosity - their desire to learn for learning's sake, and to translate their newfound knowledge into action and impact.
