Inside STEM Admissions: What Top Schools Look for in Future Innovators

In this webinar, we’ll unpack how selective STEM programs read applications, what “rigor” really means in math, science, and computing, and how context at your school shapes expectations.

Expect clear guidance on shaping a standout profile before senior year: choosing courses strategically, deciding whether to submit test scores, and turning research, robotics, coding, or maker projects into evidence of impact.

We’ll show how to write essays that reveal curiosity and problem-solving, secure recommendation letters that highlight collaboration and resilience, and find alternatives when advanced classes aren’t available.

You’ll leave with a concrete game plan for timelines, productive summers, and program fit—how to evaluate labs, undergraduate research access, and maker resources—plus tips to avoid common pitfalls and present a cohesive STEM story from application to admit.
