Personal essay:
-I was told that my personal essay was very strong. I used my experiences from riding my horse and how those experiences taught me things and gave me unique qualities and lessons, and explained how I will use those to benefit the MSU community and myself in Engineering
I will also be applying to U of M (reach), Michigan Tech, Grand Valley (Safety) and hopefully some out of state colleges.
