In this ever-changing world, the most valuable sklll might be human literacy.

Takeaways from this week’s Tuesday Talk where admissions officers from Georgia Tech, Northeastern, Purdue, and WPI talked about the things that make STEM students successful: curiosity, grit, and how to collaborate with others. (And STEM means so much more than just coding, robotics, and labs!)

Full recording available on our website (link in bio)!

A little over a year ago, we got our very first Dialogue Council together (which led to a whole brand new product to add to our suite)! This year, we did it again, a little bigger and louder (and maybe a new product, but we’ll have to wait and see)! Take a look at 2025 vs. 2026!

We’re so lucky to have great people behind the ideas: people willing to push, question, innovate, learn, and most importantly, LAUGH. Nothing beats getting everyone together in one place and seeing what happens. Grateful for this community and excited to see what comes out of all that dialoguing!

See you next year, Dialogue Council!

Did you miss the last Tuesday Talk?

Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, and Swarthmore gave us great food for thought on what “research” actually means in application review.

The thread running through the talk: don’t mold yourself to a school. Find the school that fits who you are.
