Successful Application6 Essays

Tell us how you initially found your interest and passion for science or any STEM topic, and how you have pursued or developed this interest or passion over time.

If you had to choose an area of interest or two today, what would you choose?

The creativity, inventiveness, and innovation of Caltech's students, faculty, and researchers have won Nobel Prizes and put rovers on Mars. But Techers also imagine smaller-scale innovations every day, from new ways to design solar cells to how to 3D-print dorm decor to experimenting in the kitchen. How have you been a creator, inventor, or innovator in your own life

Tell us about a STEM-related experience from the last few years and share how and why it inspired your curiosity.

Why did you choose that area of interest?

Regardless of your STEM interest listed above, take this opportunity to nerd out and talk to us about whatever STEM rabbit hole you have found yourself falling into. Be as specific or broad as you would like.
