Luis Sanchez, Associate Director, Undergraduate Admissions
Hometown: Hyattsville, Maryland
What I’ve learned from working with Capitol Students: You'll be surprised at how much you can accomplish in a day if you optimize your time down to the last second.
My advice to someone applying to Capitol: Talk to an admissions counselor, and feel free to reach out to me. I have had many conversations with students who know they want to code or major in a STEM field but really can't determine which one. A lot of times, I make suggestions based on our conversation, which usually ends with me sending them the curriculum and explaining how it could align with their goals. I'm a first-generation college graduate; if you find yourself in the same boat, definitely reach out for any questions. I know from first-hand experience how intimidating and daunting processes can be; definitely use me as a resource.
What I love most about Capitol: The curriculum. On the website, you can read about how in-depth and hands-on the curriculum is structured. When I talk about Capitol, I emphasize how, from day one, you're already building your foundation and doing really cool projects in your freshman and sophomore years, and how the hands-on approach really puts you ahead of the curve.
