Hey everyone! This is my essay for Georgia Tech and I'd like feedback on it. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Prompt: Why are you interested in attending Georgia Tech and what do you hope to contribute to our community? (150 word limit)

My Essay:

Technology has always been my passion. My love for Electronics and Computers has moulded my ambition to become a Computer Engineer. So, why Georgia Tech? I want to have access to unparalleled Engineering resources; to be with creative and open-minded thinkers, with culturally diverse people, in atmospheres that nurture intellectual growth; to learn under scholars and visionaries; to study in a rigorous Engineering program and earn a respected degree; to live in a great city like Atlanta. I believe GATech can provide me with all of these, that's why. In return, I can help the GATech and the Atlanta community by participating in the many social service clubs and programs, using my technology skills to better them, and performing the simplest acts of kindness, like helping an elder cross the road or teaching a peer what Piezo Electric effect is. Why Georgia Tech? I'd rather ask, WHY NOT Georgia Tech?

Exactly 150 words. Thanks a lot for your time! :)

You give a list of things that you presume you would be able to experience at Georgia Tech. However, I like if you cited some features of Georgia Tech and linked these things to them. It gives them an impression that you've done your homework.
