Why Indonesian Students Need Research Experience?
The admissions landscape has changed. Top universities like Columbia, Oxford, and Cambridge no longer accept students based solely on excellent grades and test scores. The Reality for Indonesian Applicants: - Thousands of high-achieving students from Indonesia apply each year - Only those with meaningful research experience stand out - Most successful applicants started their research journey in Grades 9-10, not Grade 12 - Research projects demonstrate the intellectual curiosity and academic rigor that Ivy League and Oxbridge demand
