Undergraduate / Transfer common app essay. I'm a freshman in community college and looking for transfer to UMass [7]
hi,
please help me in my transfer common app essay. English is my second language so please indicate grammar error if you can.
prompt:
Please provide a statement that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve. You can type directly into the box, or you can paste text from another source. (250-650 words)
While some people need more time to figure out their college majors, there are some, like me, who are fortunate enough to have some ideas about what they want to study from early of their academic career. Math and Science has always been my strength since middle school, so I confidently told that I would pursue an engineering career.
When I was in middle school, I always dreamed about working as an engineer who are able to understand how things work and develop new machine. I was one step closer to my dream when I moved to the U.S and attended a high school here in two years. During high school, I took as many honor and AP classes as I could and kept maximum GPA, 4.0, in order to be ready for college. In my junior year, I began to look for college, more decisions needed making, one of which was a choice between engineering and engineering technology. After researching through internet and teachers, I decided to become engineering technologist because it would allow me to have a lot of hands on laboratory experience which is my favorite.
One year after high school, I chose an Electronic Engineering Technology program at NHTI Concord's community college where they offer a dual program with University of New Hampshire at Manchester. I have done very well in my first two classes in the summer; my GPA maintains at 4.0. To be honest, my experience with NHTI was nowhere near my expectation. I thought the program would consist high level of math application; the only math skilled really needed was basic algebra. I had a craving for something more challenge, especially in Math and Science classes.
As a freshman, it is easy for me to make up my mind. After doing more research about the difference between engineering technologist and engineer, I realized that what I want to do is an engineer's work - I want to design and develop a new technology. With my strong physics background, especially about electrical and magnetic fields, I want to study electrical engineering in the four-year institute and University of Massachusetts Amherst is my choice. I plan on taking advantage at UMass' resources as well as opportunities for volunteer work and research project to enhance knowledge about my major. Upon completing my degree, I want my career to focus on either power generation sector or utilities industry
