Academic Research

Overview
Academic research capabilities and students' research experience are key criteria for prestigious universities and research institutes during admissions. Committees look for not only strong academic performance but also a demonstrated research-oriented mindset, showing dedication and interest in a specific field. This helps predict the applicant's potential to become a leader in their discipline, contributing to progress in academia and society. This aligns with the concept of intellectual curiosity often emphasized by Ivy League admissions officers.
