Why I see Mr. Sim

This is what I would say to him

1) This is not an intended compliment for you, in case you think I'm trying to flatter you. But I think you were right when you said that the US application should be an interesting process. You said that this would be the only chance that someone cares about what you think and what you like. But I think for me, it's also one of the rare chances that I reflect thoroughly about my life (short as it has been so far). Of course now and then I would think about things that have happened to me in life. But there are many things that only one I pick up the pen or start typing that I can actually lay them down, see them, think more carefully, peel them up and really understand "why?". For this US application, I have written quite a few essays about things like what I like, about why I like Physics, why I like GP, what I learn form soccer to things like all the little philosophies I created for myself, all laid down clearly. Although I cannot write all such things in my application or squeeze them on this piece of paper, writing such stuffs is the most enjoyable thing I have gotten from this process. Thank you for advising us to start on the "20 things interesting about me" list last year.


2) What do I want to study in college?
Not only architecture, but also agriculture, forestry, geography

3) Architecture course - does it mean that you can study other stuffs?

4) What should I do now with the essays - think of question-specific essays or just keep brain-storming?

5) What is a graded analytical paper?

6) What is all the info parts on the naviance for?
