We contacted our alumni who applied to universities early this year to learn more about how our program adds value to their path toward higher education. The survey asked for the colleges that they had applied to and their results, information on how they talked about research in their application, and any other reflections they had on the process.

Using survey and interview data from Lumiere alumni, this report examines how students can best use independent research experiences to build their profile during high school. This year, universities that our alumni were accepted early to include UPenn, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and many more. Read our report to learn how research helped them set themselves apart in the college application process.
