Dear Colleague,

On behalf of Columbia Engineering and Columbia Undergraduate Admissions, we are pleased to inform you and your students about the Engineering Preview at Columbia (EPC). As a counselor and adviser, you are invited to share this opportunity with one or two of your program's outstanding seniors (based on our recommendations below) who demonstrate a strong interest in engineering, science, math and technology. Your students may apply for this selective program via our online application.

EPC was created to encourage high-achieving high school seniors from low-income backgrounds to explore an engineering education at Columbia. This year EPC is taking place on Sunday, October 13, through Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

Program Highlights Include:

• 100% funding: Columbia will fund and arrange hotel and travel accommodations, including air, rail and ground transportation, for the student and one parent/guardian. All meals and snacks during the program will be provided for the student as well.

• World-class faculty and research: Students will meet members of Columbia’s renowned faculty and visit our world-class research centers.

• The NYC advantage: Students will experience New York City and the unparalleled cultural, research, career and entrepreneurship opportunities at our doorstep.

• Inside look at life as a Columbian: Students will experience campus life and meet with current students. In previous years, participants have met student leaders from a variety of student organizations such as Engineers Without Borders, the National Society of Black Engineers, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the Native American Council and the Society of Women Engineers.

• Understanding the admissions process: Students will participate in comprehensive college admissions and financial aid workshops conducted by Columbia Undergraduate Admissions and Columbia Financial Aid & Educational Financing staff.

EPC is designed for high-achieving high school seniors who have:

• Exemplary academic records, particularly in math and science, including coursework in calculus, physics and chemistry 

• Sincere interest in pursuing an engineering education

• Genuine appreciation for the vibrant Columbia community, which brings together students with varied lived experiences 

EPC is designed to serve students who may have had less exposure to the fields of engineering and applied science including:

• Low-income students

• Students who will be the first generation in their family to attend college

• Students from underserved and rural communities

• Students who qualify for Free or Reduced Price Lunch

• Students attending Title 1 or economically-disadvantaged high schools

Due to the selectivity and limited size of the program, a school-issued transcript is required to apply. Unofficial copies, such as those provided by a counselor or printed from an online grades portal, are sufficient to apply.

The deadline to apply is Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Please direct your students to our website to learn more if they are interested in applying. Students selected for the program will be notified in late September.

Thank you for supporting your students as they consider applying for participation in EPC. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or if we can provide additional information.

Sincerely,

Veronica Aguilar Hornig
Director of Special Programs and Engineering Admissions

Hello,

We'd love to learn about your students through the application for Perspectives on Pomona (POP)! As a reminder, this year we’re offering two program options for students:

On-Campus Program: October 6th - 8th. Students may apply for consideration to both the on-campus and virtual programs by August 12th. The POP application requires the POP form, an unofficial or official transcript, and a short writing prompt response. Notification about selection will be sent by the end of September. All expenses (travel, food, accommodations) for the on-campus program are covered.

Virtual Program(s): Half-day sessions on either October 24th or 26th. If your students are only interested in the virtual program, encourage them to apply by September 30th. Only the POP application and a transcript including grades from 9th through 11th is required (unofficial and official transcripts are accepted).

Additionally, all applicants will be offered our fee waiver if they apply to Pomona—virtually no difference from those visiting campus! Please help them decide which option makes the most sense for them.

If you have any questions, please email us.

Chirp, Chirp!

Mississippi State University's application for admission for summer or fall 2025 goes live during Hail State @ 8 tomorrow, August 1, at 8 p.m. CT!

Why should students apply during Hail State @ 8?

Freshman housing priority is primarily based on the submission timestamp of a student's admissions application but may include a variety of other factors. Applying to MSU as soon as possible will also keep students up to date on important dates in the admissions process.

Students can submit the application on August 1 without submitting transcripts, test scores (optional), and the application fee/fee waiver, but we will eventually need these items to review their application for admission. The application requires general information, parental/guardian information, and academic information.

How do students apply?

We encourage students to set up an application account prior to Hail State @ 8. We sent more information about creating an account to students via email last week. They can also find the link to set up an account on our Hail State @ 8 page. On August 1 at 8 p.m. CT, students will go to apply.msstate.edu and log in to apply.

For students interested in submitting the application via Common App, that option will be available beginning Monday, August 5. This date is also when our spring 2025 application for admission will open.

Why Mississippi State?

MSU is a National Science Foundation Top 100 Research Institution offering 180+ undergraduate majors and programs. With hands-on learning opportunities and numerous social experiences, students prepare for meaningful careers while making memories that last a lifetime.

Hail State!
