What Top Colleges Really Want in STEM Applicants

HOST: Lucas_Demetriades | Caltech Former Admissions Officer Lucas read undergraduate applications at Caltech and ran its admissions communications and campus visit program. BA in Physics, Carleton College, Harriet Sheridan Endowed Prize. Where Lucas’s Students Have Been Admitted: Harvard · University of Pennsylvania · University of Chicago · Northwestern · Bowdoin · Haverford · USC · RISD · UT Austin What You’ll Learn: Perfect math scores and a robotics club are the baseline now, not the case for admission. Join Lucas, who read applications at Caltech, for a line-by-line look at how STEM files are actually evaluated at Caltech, MIT and the Ivies, and what separates the ones that get in. The STEM archetype. What the most selective programs look for. Positioning the work. Robotics, AI and projects read as academic identity, not a list. The red zone. The mistakes that end a file early. Line by line. One admitted profile, decision by decision. To The Top Education, Katy, TX
