Science Research only helps if it’s REAL!!! Most paid programs that advertise science research will pair you up with a graduate student to do a thing called a literature review or a metanalysis which is really just a summary of other research papers – not an original question. When you frame it like that, what you realize is that you don’t need to pay those programs to do that kind of work in the first place, you can get better summaries with ChatGPT 😂 But Ivy League colleges do value real science research, which is with a PhD mentor, a real scientist, in a lab, working on an original question with the goal of getting published in a real journal. That mentor can write you a letter of recommendation describing your original contributions to the work, and that is the thing that actually makes a difference in Ivy League admissions. so yes, science research can help you get into an Ivy League school but only if you do it the right way. Don’t get fooled by programs just trying to make a buck. #ivyleague #college #admissions #scienceresearch

HOW TO GET SCIENCE RESEARCH IN HIGH SCHOOL!!! Ivy League colleges love it when students apply who have done real science research, but the biggest thing holding students back from getting science research positions over the summer is that they don’t have useful skills to contribute to a lab. You can fix this by taking a free course in python on X and then use that certification when cold emailing professors to show them that you would actually be able to help them. That’s how you’ll get science research for the summer and improve your odds of admission to an Ivy League college. #ivyroadmap #college #admissions #ivyleague #science #research #summer

SCIENCE RESEARCH IS AN IVY ADMISSIONS HACK!!! Ivy League colleges love it when aspiring stem students do science research because it is one of the few ways you can show true excellence in the field that you hope to join. Follow my advice step-by-step so that you can do science research while you’re in high school and have the best odds of being accepted into an Ivy League college. #scienceresearch #research #ivyleague #admissions

YOUR GPA IS USELESS!!! Obviously, you need good grades to get into an elite college but when everybody has good grades, it’s not a meaningful factor that distinguishes you in college admissions. #ivyleague #admissions #college #gpa #usc When you see that 44% of the people accepted to USC had a 4.0 GPA or higher, that shouldn’t tell you that GPA was the big factor. It should tell you that a high GPA is a given. You need way more than that to stand out. So what do you do? Focus on achievements much rarer than a 4.0 GPA. Get a high score on the SAT, win competitions outside of school, get letters of recommendation from influential people that show that you did real work. Hard stuff, rare stuff, that’s what helps. You actually stand out in elite college admissions.

Remember these 3 principles 👇🏾 1. Know Thy Audience Who is going to be reading your writing? Who do they answer to? What do they care about? What are their incentives? A college advisor’s job is to filter for people who will make their school’s brand look better (you’re like a race horse they’re betting on) They wanna see that • You’ll succeed academically (stats/scores) • You’ll make the campus community better (Clubs, ECs, Comm service) • You pass the vibe check/ the profs will wanna talk to you (do your values/mission/goals align with school’s) So that if they have to , it doesn’t make them look bad to their boss 2. Know Thy Angle Again, your application is a sales pitch. The AO will probably remember 1-2 things about you if you’re LUCKY. Therefore, it’s crucial that you get clear on what the 3 core messages or takeaways you want them to leave with, and choose what to include such that they support those three ideas eg. for my MIT application I went in knowing that, if nothing else, I needed the AO’s to know 1. I had that dawg in me/was resourceful and overcome adversity 2. I am self-aware and reflective 3. My goals were beyond MIT/ I’d make something shake with or without them So for point #1 I shared things like my FLI background and dysfunctional family For point #2 I talked about my journaling and meditation habits, and said in my essay that “expecting me to know everything about myself at a 17yo is a ridiculous task” And for point #3 I said something in my essay like “If yall accept me cool, but if not, the mission still stands — I’m fixing my family’s socioeconomic status lest I die trying” (which honestly was so fricking dramatic, but emotionally impactful) 3. Show, Don’t tell The way to communicate the messages from step 2 isn’t with direct words Instead, you pick 2-3 experiences or stories that SHOW those traits, and have them come to those conclusions THEMSELVES, from feeling it emotionally #university #college #stem #admissions

Part 2: PhD admission interview series: “Tell me about your research.” While the tell me about your research question could be intimidating, please remember one of the main reasons the question is asked is to determine how passionate you are about research. Stay confident and excited in your response. Let me know if you’ll like me to address any other questions (either common or less common). I will like to gently remind you of the Graduate admission and scholarship event on Twitter I’m co-hosting tomorrow, come ask me any questions in real time. #graduateadmission #phdadmission #phdadmissions #gradschool #graduatestudent #phdstudent #phdcandidate #admissions #graduateschool #interview #admissionguidance #interviewtips #interviewquestions #interviewprep #stem #blackinstem #stemadmission #phd #usaadmissions #phdlife #phdstruggles #biology #molecularbiology #mastersadmission #research #phdcandidate #phdcandidatelife #phdjourney
