Is my Caltech essay off topic?

<p>It's the prompt about how math and science inspires you.</p>

<p>This is a short summary of the essay:</p>

<p>I have many basketball teammates that tore their ACL's, and because of this I did a lot of reading about the injury and the rehab. So during my research, I found a method that had a significantly quicker recovery rate and that really had me mindblown. This discovery made me want to find other ways to further lessen the amount of time need to get back in the game. </p>

<p>So this method i came across was extremely intriguing, which is why I now use it to "satisfy my intellectual curiosity" by trying to think of ways to improve these methods.</p>

<p>Sorry if this doesn't make sense, but I appreciate any answers you guys have!</p>
