Also, I think my personal statements are very strong. My first one is about feeling conflicted with my National identity (Born in Singapore, moved to SD, but told I was Canadian my entire life) and how that’s allowed me to chase my passion to be an engineer in a world not dictated by attachment to a single country/place. My second essay is all about founding my robotics team and how I started it because I wanted to learn more about engineering but what I got out of it was how to start and run a small business and I brought the first and only engineering activity to my high school.
I know my SATs aren’t very strong for COE, but I’m hoping that they can see past that and place more inportance on my GPA, extra curriculars (which are very focussed and show my interest in EECS) and essays. Anyways, I’d like to hear other people’s opinions
