Admissions officers are evaluating much more than who’s “accomplished the most.” So, what does it take to get in?
Most students targeting top Computer Science programs like MIT, Caltech, and UT Austin have already checked all the academic boxes—great GPAs, high test scores, advanced coursework in math and science, and years of coding experience.
But that’s the problem.
As one professor shared: “We’re overwhelmed with students who are technically perfect but intellectually flat.”
Colleges are looking for students who can think independently, collaborate meaningfully, and demonstrate creative potential.
