I also volunteer at a local organization, helping with bookkeeping and event planning.
My school does not offer computer science, so I am going to teach myself how to code or take an online class on my own time this summer in computer science.

I didn’t realize until this year that I wanted to study engineering, as I hadn’t had much exposure prior. Is this a problem? Also, does it help that I am a girl interested in engineering?
Do you have any suggestions to improve my chances of getting in?
Thank you so much!
