Princeton: Engineering Statement, Question 2
Briefly describe any particular experiences you have had that are related to engineering or that led you to have an interest in one or another field of engineering.

Cornell: Most important extracurricular experience
What extracurricular experience has been most important to you? Why? What do you feel you have accomplished?

Studying the chemical reactions of HCl, H2SO4, NaOH, NH4OH, Al3+, Ag+, Ba2+, Bi3+, Ca2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Sn4+, and Zn2+ and making a flow chart to identify the solutes in ten numbered containers on the basis of their reactions with each other for Science Olympiad last year was challenging, rewarding, and interesting. After making the 13 solutions, doing research and constructing the flow chart, I competed with my senior teammate Lewis, against 35 other teams from Nassau County. Winning second place medals was satisfying and increased my determination to study qualitative analysis concepts regarding knowledge of cations and anions in the traditional Qualitative Analysis Groups, methods of identification and separation, flow charts and lab techniques, so that this year, I will be awarded first place.

Comments: I was applying for chemical engineering, so I guess it fit.
