I have many reactions to that sentence (including sad that you think that you could or should reduce part of who you are into a tool to help you get into a fancier name college), but on behalf of AOs everywhere, please don’t. AOs have to read way too many essays on that topic every year as it is. It is also harder to write a good one than you think. And really, is that the most interesting thing about you? from your post, I am thinking not.
You are a year and a half away from applying to college. Instead of angsting over ‘can I get into a fancy school’ look for schools where you can grow both the engineering and creative sides of you. Engineering is not a subject that requires “ivies” - indeed, most of the top engineering programs are not at “ivies”, and engineering programs vary considerably in how much room there is for a significant creative component.
