Essay (24) | Mechanical Engineering | Dec 19 2006 | get good grades and try to be unique and different on ur essays.  Mechanical Engineering | Apr 27 2006 | I got in, with cruddy SAT scores and mediocore math grades. But I did mention I scored in the like 96% percentile on the grammar section [ hard to beleive eh?] Anyhoo. I wrote a very honest please accept me letter. It talked about things I had done in the past that involved my major [robotics club, braking stuff to see what makes it tick, buildings various, well call them , ballistics] anyways. My essay showed I had a drive and passion to learn my major. I think ultimately that passion is what got me in. Definitely not my grades ! When I applied, I forgot to even send in my essay. Basically, just be honest on your application and make sure you have good recommendations. It isn't as competitive or tough as I thought it would be, but that doesn't mean not to try hard. And Financial Aid is very good here, or so I think. I was given nearly half of my Tuition/Room/Board solely from need-based Financial Aid. If I had tried harder in high school I could have actually gotten some scholarships based on my academics too. Maybe next year I will work on that one, but you should work on it now. Computer Science
