  • A statement responding to this question: "We typically have hundreds of applicants with high GPAs and strong technical skills.  However, we often accept talented students who have not yet developed these skills because they have unique perspectives and can potentially benefit significantly from the program.  Outside of your academic qualifications, what makes you a unique candidate who will benefit from this summer experience?  Please describe who you are beyond your academic qualifications."
