Selection

The Dean's Scholars Program desires students interested in individual discovery and in acquiring a broad view of how science fits into the community--the broad view necessary for assuming important scientific careers and, eventually, leadership positions in the scientific community.

The Dean's Scholars Program is highly selective, admitting about fifty freshmen each year, as well as a small number of upper-class students. Dean's Scholars seek the intellectual challenge and stimulation of an interdisciplinary program emphasizing scientific research.

Although Dean's Scholars typically achieve high SAT scores and class ranking, admission is not based solely on these criteria, but more importantly, on evidence of a student's interest in science, research, and individual discovery. As Dean's Scholars, students are oriented toward research, encouraged through their work to perceive the world as presenting questions that can be answered through experimentation.
