Research for High Schoolers

Stand Out in College Admissions with Research & Publication

In today’s competitive college admissions landscape, grades and test scores are just the beginning. What truly sets applicants apart is their ability to demonstrate intellectual curiosity, initiative, and a passion for learning beyond the classroom. That’s where we come in.

At Kingswell Ivy , we empower high school students to design and complete original research projects and publish their work—guided every step of the way by world-class academics from institutions like MIT, Harvard, Georgia Tech, NYU, Yale, and Penn State. Our mentors are not just experts in their fields—they’re dedicated educators who know what top colleges are looking for.

Why Research and Publication Matter

Research and passion projects have a proven, material impact on college applications.

They help you:

  • Craft a compelling personal narrative that goes far beyond grades and test scores.
  • Demonstrate initiative, creativity, and intellectual depth—qualities that admissions officers at elite universities value 
  • Showcase your ability to tackle real-world problems and contribute new knowledge to your field.
  • Build relationships with leading academics who can provide strong, personalized recommendation letters

 

Recent data shows that students who complete research projects and publish their work enjoy significantly higher acceptance rates at top universities.

For example, nearly one-third of admitted students at leading institutions like UPenn engaged in academic research during high school. At Caltech, 45% of incoming students included their own research in their applications.
