Successful Stories of Research Alums

Derek, Computer Science

Challenge:

Derek has competed in many contests and attended many programs, but has never really experienced research before.

He felt that his knowledge has been taught to him in an abstract setting and he would like to apply it in practical ways and solve real-world problems

Her paper was published by the Journal of Student Research – High School Edition with a very high peer review score (4.5 / 5). Got admitted into:

Got admitted into:

Susan, Music Therapy

Challenge:

Susan, with prior research experience in science, sought to merge her passions for music and science into a cohesive project.

She aimed to stand out among university applicants by embarking on an interdisciplinary research program exploring the relationship between music and memory within the realm of brain science, although she lacked direction on how to begin
