Cracking the Code: How to Help Your Child Navigate the Computer Science Admissions Maze

Applications are up while admissions rates are dropping below 5% at some top CS programs. Join us on Tuesday, April 22 at 4:30 PM PDT / 7:30 PM EDT to discover how your student can stand out in the highly competitive world of Computer Science admissions.

Ideal for families with teens in grades 7-11.

 

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.

Join Jeremy, an experienced college admissions expert, who has helped students gain admission to top CS programs at MIT, Georgia Tech, Berkeley, and more. 

You'll discover:
