My daughter is a junior engineering major, doing very well and loving it. I don’t know what she wrote on her supplements, but she had no background, classes or experience in engineering, was never in any competition and never won a prize, so she clearly wasn’t a ‘contest’ winner. She did have some very definite ideas about why she wanted to be an engineer. She was a legacy, which no doubt is worth something, but her grades, etc. put her ‘in the pack,’ as she likes to say. So, I don’t see any reason for anyone to be discouraged by the STEM supplement, even if you aren’t a ‘contest winner.’
