| Selection and application | Selection: A museum-wide review committee scores applications and invites only the strongest candidates to an in-person group interview. The Met does not publish a current applicant count or acceptance rate. Application materials: Short essay responses; One recommendation letter from a teacher, school administrator, coach, mentor, program leader or supervisor who is not related to the applicant; In-person group interview if selected as a finalist | Selection: McCombs describes desired qualities but publishes no current applicant count, cohort size, acceptance rate, fixed GPA cutoff, identity quota, geographic quota, scoring rubric, interview process, or waitlist policy. Historical cohort figures must not be treated as a future guarantee. Application materials: One or more essays following the current prompts and word limits; One letter of recommendation from an eligible recommender under current instructions | Selection: Selection occurs first within the high school and then at the host. Recent host sources report approximately 20%-25% admission among school nominees, with exact cohort size driven by facilities and funding. Application materials: Branch-specific essays; Teacher recommendations; GSS specifically requires one science and one mathematics or computer-science letter |
