Review Criteria
- Potential- Has a high likelihood of a research experience providing a strong impact on their career. For example, a student who is plateauing will not gain much from a new research experience at Stanford. A late-bloomer, or a student with limited access to research resources, may find a summer research experience at Stanford much more impactful.
- Self-awareness- Has a well-calibrated self-assessment. Self-awareness of failures and mistakes helps individuals identify and overcome weaknesses. This is a quality that tracks well with students benefiting from short-term research experiences.
- Competence- Has demonstrated strong skills in the work they've done. Not necessarily grade-based, but also practical experience working in teams or pursuing research.
- Commitment Has a clear motivation or passion that propelled them into applying for this program.
