Undergraduate / 'Mathematics and the Physics program' - to major in, which department - short essay [7]

Although you not yet know what you want to major in, which department or program appeals to you and why?

I am attracted to both the Mathematics and the Physics program. Most importantly, both of them interest me and I think I have future in both, because this semester I was in the top of my class in both mathematics and physics (altough I sahred the rank with two other peers in math) If I had to choose one, right now I have a slight preference for Physics as a major. Why? I want to better our society, something harder to do with pure mathematics. The way I see it, pure mathematics will make me profit while pure physics will make me and the others profit.

this is the second short essay I must write. Can someone please correct grammar? thank you very much!

Tell us what you do for the pleasure of it

I find pleasure in stories. I love reading novels, watching plays and all kinds of movies, some TV series... And I like to write stories myself. I have made a couple of short films, too.

I have many other hobbies: I like to cook for me and my family (mainly Peruvian food, which is great!) and invent new dishes when I can. I also like going out with friends to the movies or parties, and I enjoy swimming and rowing. Anything involved with logic, problem solving or challenge is interesting for me. For example, I enjoy solving difficult math problems by myself (really!).

Undergraduate / Gastronomy is much more than just a hobby for me - extracurricular mini-essay [4]

Hi Gloria, can you pleaseee correct this mini-essay? Also, do you think it addresses the question well? thanks

In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities (extracurricular, personal activities, or work experience)(150 words or fewer).

Many people advise me not to write gastronomy as an extracurricular in a collage application. I should better "write about my achievements in Creative Writing competitions and about the hard physics extracurricular I enjoy attending..." But for me, gastronomy is much more than just a hobby or an extracurricular. It is one of my greatest passions. Everytime there is a course in an academy, I attend it. I love learning new techniques - and apply these from a different chef's point of view each time. And every weekend, I experiment and create new dishes for my family. I recreate new ones- interpret them in my own way or come up with an entirely new concept. With gastronomy, I feel my creativity has no boundaries and that there will always be endless possibilities to try out. It remains the sole kind of art that everyone, with no exception, likes.

Grammar, Usage / writing question - is this sentence correct? [6]

Hi, is this sentence grammatically correct and understandable?

Stop- I was not going to follow science or math; it was a career without future. Especially in Peruvian society, where happiness can only be achieved though a process of social status escalation.

thank you for your time!
