Join three university researchers who mentor InGenius Prep students for an hour on why a mentored research project is the clearest evidence a committee can see that a student can think, and how to build one. - **What research signals.** Why a mentored project outweighs another club or AP. - **What a mentor looks for.** How faculty choose which students to take on. - **The letter that carries.** Why a mentor’s recommendation reads differently from a teacher’s. - **Project to portfolio.** From a question to a paper, presentation or publication. ##### MEET YOUR PANEL ![Shield Logo Image (4)](https://go.ingeniusprep.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shield%20Logo%20Image%20(4).png?width=2000&height=2000&name=Shield%20Logo%20Image%20(4).png "Shield Logo Image (4)") ## **Brandon, Lorenzo and Ramin** ## **Georgetown, Stanford and UCLA Research Mentors** **Brandon, Georgetown University Instructor.** A legal anthropologist with a PhD from Princeton and a JD from Georgetown Law, Brandon has taught at Georgetown for several years and mentors students on the intersections of anthropology, law and justice, labor and human rights.

He holds a PhD in Hydrology and Water Resources from UC Berkeley, and his research addresses water, energy and food security in a changing climate. **Ramin, UCLA Associate Adjunct Professor of Computer Science.** Ramin is a Research Scientist and Chief Technologist at UCLA’s Center for Smart Health and Managing Technical Director at the Clinical and Translational Science Institute in the David Geffen School of Medicine. He earned his PhD at Imperial College London, and his work applies AI to personalized health and early disease detection. ## Our Results | 2025–2026 Admissions Results Ivy League + Top 10 Offers ###### 201 Top 20 Offers ###### 384 Higher Ivy+ Acceptance Rate *vs.* National Average ###### 12.5x Top 30 Acceptance Rate ###### 87% Elite Offers Per Student ###### 4.37 © 2026 InGenius Prep.
