Scholarship / A friend's letter of recommendation for the HENAAC Scholars Program [3]

Overall, the letter is very well-crafted. The only improvements to be made are a couple of really nit-picky grammatical details. Also, there isn't much context given for the Calculus team, so it may be worth including Juan's role in it in the 2nd paragraph (unless his involvement is implicit).

It is my honor to recommend Juan Sebastian ...
... and we have maintained a close friendship ever since .
... aid, but most importantly,

I could not have succeeded. He helped me reach the level of mathI use to be at (consider revising). A nd for that, I am grateful. (you could also say ", for which I am grateful.")

He maintained good grades in his courses while working full-time ,

He devotes his time and effort until he completes the task successfully.

Undergraduate / "Exploring my abilities" Transfer Waitlist Personal Statement for UC Davis [4]

Hello! I am submitting a personal statement for a waitlist at UC Davis (200-word maximum). I would highly appreciate any feedback on my current draft. Thank you for your time.

It is my conviction that University of California, Davis would be the perfect place for me to establish my knowledge as an electrical engineer. I have a strong interest in networks and wireless communication; As such, having the opportunity to attend Davis, I would have access to a wide variety of exceptional facilities to explore these interests, such as the Microwave Microsystems Laboratory and the Broadband Radio Access Technologies Laboratory. I also hope to apply my knowledge and work experience at Davis by engaging in student projects and helping to develop new programs within the electrical engineering department, such as a CubeSat program in collaboration with the aerospace department. I was incredibly intrigued as I read several publications pertaining to wireless communication systems by Dr. Zhi Ding, which lead me to conclude that at Davis, I would have the ideal environment to hone my electrical engineering abilities; not just through coursework, but also through the inspiring research and mentorship of faculty in the likeness of Dr. Zhi Ding. I sincerely hope that I get the opportunity to build my education and career at University of California, Davis, both undergraduate and beyond.
