Top STEM programs at schools like MIT, Stanford, Caltech, and the Ivies are among the most selective in the country. Strong grades and test scores are table stakes, and the students who earn admission have learned how to present themselves in a way that goes far beyond the numbers.

During this webinar, Dr. Pamela Ng, a former Stanford Admissions Officer, will share what elite STEM programs are truly evaluating: how they assess intellectual curiosity and potential, what kinds of research, projects, and extracurriculars actually move the needle, and how to build an application that tells a cohesive story about who you are as a future scientist, engineer, or mathematician. Dr. Ng will also address common misconceptions about what it takes to get in and the patterns she saw in applications that succeeded.

Students and families will receive specific, experience-based guidance from someone who sat on the other side of the table. Dr. Ng will share what to prioritize in high school, how to talk about your STEM interests compellingly, and what students at the most competitive level are doing that sets them apart.

If you're aiming for a top STEM program, this is the session that gives you a true insider's perspective.
