Many high achieving STEM applicants are denied admission each year not due to a lack of rigor or talent but because their applications fail to demonstrate academic intent and intellectual coherence.

In this webinar, a Former Carnegie Mellon Admissions Officer who has reviewed thousands of STEM applications and conducted hundreds of applicant interviews explains how top STEM programs actually assess candidates and why even exceptional students are often filtered out.

Rather than rewarding raw achievement alone, selective STEM schools look for clear evidence of trajectory, depth, and readiness for advanced technical study.

What Will Be Covered:

• How selective STEM programs evaluate academic focus and intellectual direction
• What matters beyond GPA and test scores in competitive STEM pools
• How to strategically present research, projects, and competitions
• Common evaluation red flags that derail otherwise strong STEM applicants
• Live Q&A with a Former CMU Admissions Officer
