👉 Admissions engineering refers to the process by which engineering schools evaluate and select prospective students based on a comprehensive set of criteria that go beyond traditional academic metrics. This includes assessing a student's technical skills, problem-solving abilities, creativity, and potential for success in engineering programs. Admissions engineers consider factors such as standardized test scores (like the SAT or ACT), letters of recommendation, personal statements, extracurricular activities, and evidence of relevant experience or projects. The goal is to identify students who not only meet the academic requirements but also bring unique perspectives, innovative thinking, and a strong commitment to engineering that can contribute positively to the academic community and future engineering endeavors.
