How to prepare for Stevens
- Stevens is a STEM-focused school , use the interview to demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for building, problem-solving, or engineering; vague interest will not stand out
- The interview is informational and applicant-initiated, so request one early rather than waiting to be contacted; it signals demonstrated interest
- Be ready to discuss specific projects, coursework, or experiences that show you think like an engineer or technologist , Stevens readers respond to concrete examples over general ambition
- If you are an international applicant, Stevens explicitly recommends the interview, so treat it as near-required and prepare accordingly
