DD is seeking admission to top engineering schools. I believe she has written a very good essay and she has run it by her school’s college counselor. Her essay is personal and shows an element of her personality and character that can’t be seen from her resume. My concern is that it is not engineering focused and does talk about her engineering/math/science related accomplishments in high school. Is that OK? Any insights or suggestions on essay topics/focus for top engineering schools? Thank you!
