Why Should You Attend This Webinar?

Every year thousands of students apply to Harvard, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge and other world-class universities with excellent grades, strong extracurricular activities and a well-written personal statement. Yet, very few of them actually get into these universities.

Have you ever wondered who these students are and why they got in and others didn't? The students who get in are those who stand out in the eyes of the admissions officer from thousands of applicants. A published research paper is one of the very few things a high school student can produce that shows initiative. It proves that you can come up with a research question, analyse if a source is credible or not, and build an argument that proves your point.

Most students never attempt to do research, not because they are lazy, but because nobody has ever explained the process. What actually counts as research? How to find credible sources? Which journals can be suitable for a high school student? Etc.

To answer these questions, Sapiente Education is hosting this exclusive free webinar for students.

What Will You Learn From This Webinar?

In this 1-hour session, you will walk through the journey of a research paper. The session aims to answer various questions that students normally get stuck on, like:

What research really is? Students will gain clarity on what separates a research paper from an essay or a report and what a paper needs before it's ready to be publishable.
How to choose the right research topic? Most students just pick a topic and start writing. We will look at how to narrow down to a specific, answerable research question.
How is research actually done? Students will gain clarity on how to find credible sources, how to use AI tools for research, and fundamental citation styles.
What peer review actually involves? You will understand what reviewers are assessing, how long each submission stage really takes, revisions, rejections and what happens if you don’t get accepted.

There will be a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar, so don’t forget to bring your pen and paper and your list of doubts!

A Special Bonus for Webinar Attendees

Those who attend the session will receive exclusive access to Part 1 of the Sapiente Research Series: “The Research Paper Blueprint: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Research Papers that Get A’s”.

Across 12 chapters, this ebook covers every stage you need to know before submission. It includes checklists that researchers use to vet research questions before picking one, how to filter out credible sources, the 4-part formula of writing a strong abstract, how to open with a hook and arguable thesis, how to use evidence correctly, which citation style your subject expects, how to edit and proofread like an editor and much more.

Every chapter ends with hands-on practice exercises along with a model answer, so you are applying the process to your own paper as you read.

So make sure to attend and stay until the end of the webinar to avail this benefit.
