Schools Need an engineer's perspective on a college essay

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks feedback on an essay for the University of Virginia's engineering program, specifically responding to a prompt about a small engineering project funded by an imaginary grant. They express interest in practical applications within electrical and electronics engineering, suggesting projects like relays and motor soft starters. The user is a high school senior and has already drafted their essay, looking for someone to review it for fundamental correctness. They offer to share the essay via private message or email for feedback. Another participant, a senior in chemical engineering, expresses willingness to help with the review.

Hello! I am new to the forums! (Love the F=MA and P=MV questions that they ask you when registering!)

I need some feedback on an essay that I am writing for the UVa supplement. Would someone be willing to help?

The prompt is- If you were given funding for a small engineering project, what would you do?

Post here and I will email or PM it to you.

I am electrical and electronics engineer, and i would suggest a project used in the industry in such case there will be a lot of applications where your product will be used in.
Maybe you can start with small products like 3 phase relay, single phase relay up to more complex like soft starters for motors.
 
I am sorry if I was vague in my original post. I am a senior in high school and applying to the undergraduate engineering department at University of Virginia.

I already have an idea and an essay written. I just need someone to check to see if what I have is fundamentally correct.

Sorry I can't post my essay here but I can PM or email it to anyone who is willing to help.
 
I'll take a look. I'm a ChemE Senior at an engineering school
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
