Caltech Former Admissions Officer
Lucas
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.
