Undergraduate / DREXEL VIP application essay- Why I want to major in 'Still Deciding' science [4]
Hi so I believe you need to go through this essay again and do a general check of your grammar. For example, you should not use contractions because it makes the essay lack in formality, even though your going for an informal approach, you should still consider changing those contractions. Also, you shouldn't start a sentence with "But", and you should change the structure of the sent. that includes you moving to Dubai, like you should say: "Then I moved to Dubai where I lived for 6 years and also attended my first 2 years of high school" or something like that. Following this sentence, "grow up from childhood" seems to be awkward and if you were to keep it you should change grow to grew. The sentence that starts with I, however, had no clue..., you should say " I knew what my favorite subject was, mathematics", because you only listed one it should be singular. Change : "that could help me decided on the major" to "that could help me decide on the major" . "With wanted I wanted to major in" instead change it to this <<<. and it should be "while missing out on an interesting sociology one course"
Otherwise, I think you went in the right way with writing this essay, it seems personal and I think that admissions committee would like it. Just one last concern and I'll let you be. I feel like you could make the essay a little more creative, whether it be using colorful language or adding more information on your feelings about the topic.
