These are last year’s questions.

These are the questions this college asked last year, copied word for word from published sources. The college has not put this year’s questions out yet. They usually change little, but check your own application before you write.

Personal statement required (250-650 words), plus two supplements:

  1. Required · maximum 24 characters per blank

    Stevens Institute of Technology's motto is "Inspired by humanity, powered by technology." Now it's your turn to let us know what inspires and powers you. First, fill in each blank with a key word: (maximum 24 characters) Inspired by: _______________ Powered by: _______________

    This is TWO short fill-in-the-blank fields, not an essay. Each blank is capped at 24 characters. Both CollegeVine and College Essay Advisors describe it the same way. Guides that describe Stevens as a single 250-500 word 'what does the motto mean to you' essay are using the retired pre-2025 version of this question.

  2. Required · 100-250 words

    Then, explain how your choices reflect who you are today:

    CollegeVine prints '(required, 100-250 words)'. College Essay Advisors prints '(max 250 words)' with no floor. Same question, differing statement of the minimum.
