Hello Guangze. the opening sentence has a negative impression. If you are socially normal, concentrate on the positive side. Express how GT balanced program made you interested. Find specific examples of people who attend there and retell their stories compare to other universities.

Zu, due to the 150 word maximum on the statement, you will not be able to be as specific as you wish in this response. However, that does not mean that you should turn in a confusing and wordy statement either. Your response can easily be edited to less than 150 words covering only the most important aspects that you wish to identify as the reasons you chose to attend Georgia Tech. Just take sentence numbers 2, 3,5, and 6 in order to create a more focused and informative response to the statement question. You need not identify your personality traits of other aspects of GA that are more inclined to describe who you are in this instance because you are being asked to discuss only the university in this prompt. Focusing directly on the reasons means an easy read for the reviewer, who needs you to just deliver the pertinent response in the quickest possible way. That is how these short response essays are written. You do not need to be too specific, just informative.
