“I was a shoe-in for this place, as IApr 30 2005Mechanical Engineering
I was a shoe-in for this place, as I got my AA with honors, and a 1300 on my SAT. But I was really lacking on extra-cirricular activies. I have heard several times that the admissions folks like seeing independent projects. If you're applying to engineering, try to include something you built, desinged, or whatever in your application. If you and your buddies built a skate ramp, include it in your application and explain how you made it (if you didn't just slap it together of course). If you like working on cars, talk about some of the things you did. Then try to tie it all into engineering and how this is what you want to do in life.
SAT: 1300 Male

“I had a 1410 on myDec 15 2004Computer Science
I had a 1410 on my SATs. I don't know my gpa, class rank- all those other numbers. I never did, I was never competative for the numbers. If you want to get into Honors housing, bother with the paper work. If you get accepted to a special interest housing as an off floor member, don't bother. If you're worried about being accepted, set up an interview.
