Collin's Analysis

A selective program with a strong research reputation. Admits tend to show genuine curiosity and a concrete project rather than a long list of activities, and past cohorts skew toward students with some prior exposure to the field.

Application Strategy

Lead with one specific question you have explored, tie it to what this program teaches, and use the short answers to show range. Apply before the priority deadline and ask your recommender early.
