Appeal review
Hello everyone so I’m currently finish writing my appeal, but I’ve got several feedback regarding my 2nd answer as I put my mental health as a part of my answer and I’m currently torn on rather to put it in to show my improvement or should I remove to purely highlight my strength. Feedback would be kindly appreciated as i plan to submit during the weekends 🙏🏼
An important consideration for admission is your academic preparedness to cope with the rigour of the SUTD curriculum. If your school results over the last 4-5 years are not a true reflection of your academic ability, please provide compelling evidence of your capability in math and sciences (e.g. external test results, certifications, etc.), or highlight any extenuating circumstances (e.g. personal catastrophes that you had to overcome) which had a significant impact on your academic results. Please limit your response to between 75 and 150 words.
While studying at Temasek Polytechnic, I suffered immense pressure from my family, pushing me to study Aerospace Electronics. I eventually broke down under this pressure, which impacted the amount of concentration and time I could dedicate to my studies. Eventually causing me to take a gap semester, after which I returned with a more focused approach, resulting in an improvement in my remaining semesters. After much self-reflection during 2 years in NS, I still feel quite passionate about studying in the Engineering aspect, compared to the aerospace setting and requirements of my course. This makes me believe that SUTD’s EPD course, with its curriculum on hands-on learning, would be a perfect opportunity and environment for me to breathe life once more into the passion projects I’ve always had in mind, not limited to the aerospace context, which I could’ve never manifested into reality in my previous course
