| Selection and application | Selection: Application and interview review occur in receipt order while seats remain.

Application materials: Student interview with a parent or guardian present | Selection: MITES seeks strong, STEM-motivated students and prioritizes educational access in holistic review, but the current pages do not publish applications, cohort size or acceptance rate for 2027. Application materials: Three recommendations: a math or science teacher, a humanities teacher, and a school counselor or administrator | Selection: This is capacity- and group-based registration rather than a competitive individual admission. ASP matches registered crews to weeks, centers, and projects based on preferences, skill, need, supervision, and available space. |
