Please critique and comment. The application says "A brief response..." so I'm not sure how long this response is suppose to be. Do you think this length (368 words) is acceptable?
Why do you feel that Seattle University is a good match with your educational goals?
I have always had an interest in understanding how thing works. How small things like plastic containers are made and how large things like roads, bridges, and buildings are constructed. At an early age, the mysteries behind these creations stir within me a great immense interest in understanding and exploring the mechanics behind the workings of the world. My passion to understand the how things work and my fascination with mathematics, science, and technology led me to aspire to become an engineer. As one of the best engineering school in Washington State, Seattle University is the ideal school to fulfill my academic goals.
Researching Seattle University, I am attracted to SU's internationally recognized engineering program. Having yet to decide on the field of engineering in which I would like to pursue, SU offers a wide array of engineering programs to explore. Additionally, local companies such Boeing, Microsoft, Kenworth, AT&T, and Cisco provides the perfect challenging environment and opportunities to find solutions to real problems. The fact that SU provides a strong support for females in a male dominant field of engineering was a large reason for my interest in SU. SU offers many female role models like Associate Dean Jean Jacoby and Mara Rempe and clubs like the Society of Women Engineers.
Aside from my interest in engineering, SU's well-rounded undergraduate program provides me the chance to explore my other interest, Asian Studies. Being an interpreter and translator for my mother and relatives for the past decade gave me a great joy in utilizing my skills to assist immigrants. The programs, clubs, and the community at SU will provide a great environment for me to learn and give back to society.
I am ready to advance my education and SU truly provides the ideal environment for the start of a new chapter in my life. I crave the opportunity to be part of a strong academic environment and a strong supportive community. If I ever want to switch majors, I know that SU's well-rounded undergraduate program will be able to accommodate my desires. I am certain that SU is the school that will empower me with its superior education and start me on the path to empower others.
