At 17, twins Reagan and Ricardo Razon from Raleigh, North Carolina turned a challenging high school journey into a record of excellence—earning acceptances from 15 top universities and more than $1.536 million in merit scholarships. They balanced pandemic-era learning with dedication, family support, and relentless preparation to open doors at Harvard, Yale, MIT, UPenn, Duke, UNC, WashU, Vanderbilt, and more. Reagan secured the prestigious Robertson Scholarship at Duke, a full-ride through the Robertson Scholars Leadership Program, and was also accepted into Stanford and USC. Ricardo was accepted into Georgia Tech and awarded a scholarship from Rice, ultimately choosing Harvard. Their path was built on years of hard work—accelerated classes, long study hours, and a home that valued education from the start. Beyond grades, they lead with purpose. Reagan advocates for education equity and has balanced 12+ years of pre-professional ballet with STEM ambitions. Ricardo, born with moderate bilateral hearing loss, serves as a TEDx chapter president and speaks on diversity and discrimination. Together, they’ve shown what resilience, preparation, and vision can achieve—proof that even in uncertain times, grit and guidance can change your future. Keep going, keep growing, and let your effort write the story you want the world to read.
