Who

  • High school students aged 19 or younger from across the world (including people on gap years).
  • We encourage students to apply if they worked on challenging projects, have explored intellectual topics, or did well on olympiads or competitions.
  • If you come from a nontraditional background, please apply!

Apply

  • ‍The first stage takes just 30–60 minutes, the full application (with two written stages and 1–2 video interviews) takes 5 hours.
  • ‍This is not a college application: we are looking for fresh and weird arguments, analytical thinking, and solutions to fun puzzles—not polished essays.
  • ‍Application deadline: April 30. However, applications are reviewed on a rolling basis: The earlier you apply, the more time you’ll have for the later stages of the application, and the earlier you can be selected as a Fellow.
