申请策略与文书构思

Good morning, Sarah. Let's delve into developing a really compelling application strategy for you. How about we start by identifying your top three strengths that you believe truly set you apart?

Good morning! Great idea. I'd say my analytical skills from the debate team, my leadership experience as project lead in the robotics club, and probably my passion for sustainable engineering, evidenced by my volunteer work.

Excellent! Those are solid. Now, for your personal statement, how can we weave these strengths into a cohesive narrative? Perhaps a story that connects your analytical skills to problem-solving in sustainable engineering?

That's a good angle. I was thinking of starting with the moment I realized the environmental impact of traditional manufacturing, and then pivot to how my debate skills helped me dissect complex issues in our robotics projects.

Perfect! That creates a compelling 'why.' And regarding your unique experiences, besides what you've mentioned, is there anything else that truly stands out? Maybe a challenge you overcame, or an unconventional project?

Well, there was that time I organized a community clean-up drive. It wasn't directly related to engineering, but it showed initiative and problem-solving in a real-world setting. Could that fit?

Absolutely! That demonstrates commitment, community engagement, and practical application of organizational skills. We can tie that back to your leadership and passion for making a positive impact. It adds another layer to your narrative.

Great, I feel much better about how to approach this now. It's really helping me connect the dots.
