Científico Latino

The Científico Latino team is now published!! 🎉 🥂 https://lnkd.in/emrgY-rY Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school. Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping? Since 2019, the volunteer & trainee-run program at Científico Latino helped 443 students matriculate to grad programs in STEM. Over 70% of our students were accepted. Through this, we identified targetable features that could make admissions more equitable & accessible. We share strategies that can be implemented by graduate programs to increase equity in the STEM higher ed admissions process. Congratulations to our team on the incredible accomplishment!
