Essays: Talked about my experience in Robotics and helping multiple communities. Emphasized how we should always find ways to help communities even in the most unexpected of ways. Other two essays I would describe as decent and were more about how I am as a person.
Strengths: I think my course load and standardized tests are a strength here. My essays are alright but not earth shattering. I think I did a fair amount of EC’s but nothing too notable.
Weaknesses: My GPA is lower than the average applicant. I didn’t really have a spike but I kind of mentioned this in one of my essays and factored it into how I am as a person. Maybe like my race puts me at disadvantage irdk. Nothing to spectacular in terms of essays but they are pretty solid.
