Research

At AdmissionSight, we consult with our students and guide them through how to compete in these national research competitions. In addition, we help place students into university labs and/or competitive summer research programs, edit their research papers for submission, as well as review their essays and applications. Our students gone on to become Regeneron Science Talent Search STS Finalists and Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) Finalists through the quality of their research papers as well as essays submitted in their applications.
