What does it take to stand out in one of the most competitive applicant pools in the world?
As a Former Stanford & UC-Berkeley Admissions Officer, I’ve reviewed thousands of applications from students hoping to get into top STEM programs. I’ve made the final decision between who gets accepted and those who fall short, and it’s often not what you’d expect.
In this free webinar, I’ll walk you through what admissions committees are really looking for — and how you can craft an application that stands out in even the most competitive pools, like Stanford, MIT, Caltech, and UC Berkeley.
I’ll share practical strategies for:
- Developing impactful research projects
- Choosing the right high school courses to strengthen your STEM foundation.
- Building a STEM-focused extracurricular profile that shows depth and commitment.
- Highlighting achievements and leadership to make your application unforgettable.
- Ensuring every part of your application is elevated above your competition.
I'll also answer your questions LIVE throughout the presentation!
