Panel Discussion
Ask Current Scholars How to Get High School Research Experience for College Applications
What You'll Learn:
Join our panel of professors, researchers, and scholars to learn how a real research project can transform your college application.
In today's competitive admissions landscape, top colleges are looking for more than just a high GPA and impressive test scores. They want to see intellectual curiosity, passion, and a genuine commitment to a field of study. A strong, authentic research project is one of the most powerful ways to demonstrate these qualities.
But how do you, as a high school student, get started? Where do you find a mentor? What kind of project is right for you?
Join us for a one-of-a-kind panel discussion with InGenius Prep's Academic Mentors—real professors, researchers, and scholars from top universities. This is your chance to hear directly from the experts who guide students through the research process.
What to expect from this panel:
- Why Research is a Game-Changer: We'll kick off with a deep dive into why having a research project is so highly valued by admissions committees.
- Meet the Mentors: Each of our panelists will share their background, what they teach, what their specific research programs entail, and why their course would be a perfect fit for a curious student like you.
- Your Questions, Answered Live: We'll start by answering common questions we receive about getting started with research, and then open the floor to the audience for a live Q&A session.
This is a must-attend event for any student aiming for a top-tier university, particularly in STEM fields, humanities, or social sciences. Get the insights, guidance, and inspiration you need to embark on a research journey that will set your application apart.
