[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides strong grades, rigor, and scores, student could try to do some research relevant to what some faculty at the target school are doing. Then they should reach out early with good questions that relate published work by the prof to what the student attempted. Helps to have strong coding and statistics skills, as some coding and number crunching might not be what profs (or grad students if a university) want to spend their own time on. Expect most profs not to reply, but it only takes one. Winning contests also helps. [/quote] I don’t think that works anymore [/quote] It won’t move the needle for everyone but both research relevant to a prof and winning contests does help some. Every school will look at awards won. Some schools will have a way to submit research supplements. One needs to spend the time researching which schools do so, but they tend to be STEM focused.
