Hook: Being a Pacific Islander.
Essay: I will discuss the huge effect that choir had on me throughout high school. It was how I truly “found myself” so to speak.
My concern is my GPA, actually. Sophomore year, I got a C- in Physical Education because of a massive misunderstanding between my wrestling coach and my PE teacher. She refused to rectify my grade, but I managed to raise it from the F it would have been and squeezed it to a C-. This doesn’t affect my UC GPA since they only look at a-g courses, but other colleges will see the slight impact it had on my grade. The fact that this is in there worries me. Also my subject test scores, but I will be retaking the physics in September. Not sure about Math.
My intended major is either engineering or business administration, but I prefer engineering. Is there anything I missed or is this thorough enough?
