Hey guys!
I need you to chance me for NYU Tandon. I heard that it is one of the easiest NYU schools to get into, and plus I am applying ED 1 so hopefully, that will increase my chances. My major is Mechanical engineering.
My main goal these last few years is to show that I am really strong in engineering and to show that I have a real fire for the subject. I am hoping the music will also help my chances
GPA: 3.3
- I know this is low, I really messed up freshman(2.7) and Sophmore(2 year, but junior year I got a 4.3 w and 3.8UW so I hope this shows improvement.
-top 1% income if it helps
-Out of State
-Used to live in New York and dad was head of one department in the United Nations(not sure if this helps or not)

Took french since 8th grade
I took engineering courses all years in high school
9th:
-Intro to engineering design
-Basic electronics
10th:
-Principles of engineering
-Digital Electronics
11th:
-Aerospace engineering
-Production and materials
-Manufacturing systems
12th:
-Computer Integrated Manufacturing
-This engineering course which is like a Ph.D., we have to come up with an idea, prototype it and present it to a panel of judges. This is considered the highest level engineering course or the last course in the PLTW curriculum.
Clubs:
-Started 2:
-Mechatronics club: Basically teach students all about robotics and arduinos and coding and we show them how to make projects(Founder and President)
- Aerial Technology club: Club about drones and planes, we built them too(President and Vice President, *did not start the club)
Out of school:
- I coded a website in HTML and CSS that teaches kids about the engineering courses that I took in High School. As of now(Still in the making), I have complete the Digital Electronics section, Principles of Engineering Section, and Robotics section. I plan to finish aerospace as well. On his website it has notes, worksheets to practice, and videos for each topic
-I uploaded videos of robotics on youtube. These videos have instructions on how to build these projects. There are about 10 of them
-I play guitar(13 years) and drums(6 years). I also uploaded videos of me playing on youtube.
-I am getting a job this summer
-Volunteering: 100 hours
-Performed at MusikFest for 2 years, which is a very big deal my guitar teacher says
-I completed a long c++ game making course on Udemy and also got a certificate. Made about 4 games in this course. - I am not sure if I can finish this on time, but I currently working on my biggest robotics project yet, which is creating a smartwatch that can show continuous glucose monitoring
by using glucose strips and an Arduino. The point of this is to create a cost-effective way of making sure blood sugar does not go down or too high
Hopefully, I get in because NYU is my dream school
