Essays:
I’ve started drafting my common app essay and it seems to be pretty solid. Its about my unique name and how a different, pretty large company, used it for one of its products. I’m going to tie it into some personality traits such as my humor, curiosity, and willingness to serve.
Please also recommend some other schools that I look into. I plan on majoring in the STEM field, with maybe a minor in a language or music. Thanks!
