Optional Personal Statement

<p>For a freshman planning to major in engineering, is it advisable to complete the 1200 character essay?
If I left it blank, how much will my admission chances be affected? Please advise. Thanks.</p>

<p>It is very important that you complete that essay, especially since you’re applying for engineering. If you don’t complete the essay it will just look like you are lazy and your admissions chances would significantly decrease.</p>

<p>i think so too. it’s definitely better to fill it out</p>

<p>it’s ironic how your username is determined and you won’t write a measly 1200 character essay.</p>

<p>LOL^^^^ true that</p>
