If your interests are artistic, wouldn’t you want to attend a school that appreciates not only your interests but those of others with non-engineering EC’s? Getting accepted to a school that prioritizes all engineering all the time would possibly make it hard to find people you want to be with for 4 years. Why go to a school that doesn’t share your interest in diversity?
Forget about them wanting you…do you want the culture and limited focus at a school that doesn’t appreciate the arts?
