Why Should You Do Capstone?
A Compelling Project is a Differentiator
Top universities like Columbia, Yale, and Princeton now allow students to submit research abstracts on their application — meaning high-quality research and impactful projects are becoming a key factor in admissions. But securing research opportunities with top faculty, designing a rigorous study, and getting published can be very difficult for high school students.
“Admissions officers at top-tier universities aren't just looking for students who are good at school; they are looking for students who use their interests to make an impact on the world around them. A Capstone Project is the bridge between a student's potential and their proven achievement.”
