If anyone has attended or applied, how difficult is it to get into the program?
I would appreciate it if anyone could comment or private message about what your grades and ECs were if you were accepted or rejected
It is extremely competitive. I think 86 of about 900+ were selected my year. However, they’re not just looking for the “best” student with the best test grades. They want someone who is passionate and wants to change the world. I only sent in a pretty low PSAT score of 1370 and I got in. This isn’t to say that grades and test scores aren’t important; it’s just to say that there are more important factors. When I arrived, I felt that their selection process was really about fit — how well does your personality and extracurriculars fit with one of the seminars. They should be able to draw a connecting line through your application to your first choice of seminar. I hope this helps and best of luck with your application. If you get in, make sure to go swimming in the lake at night.
@ndlshelper123 are you a URM or international student?
