Pre Major Application Essay

I am requesting a pre major extension as I await to hear back from the Computer Science and Engineering school. There are a lot of reasons why I desire this major, primarily it is a (relatively) newly discovered passion of mine. I have grown up with computers and have always worked on them, for most of my life I spent time working with hardware rather than software, and after taking a class in 5th grade I never really figured it would be something I liked. While originally attempting to acquire a Physics major when I entered college I was required to take two CSE courses. I loved them both, and very quickly found myself up most nights creating and coming up with handly little programs. As my courses continued I had received word from my professors …show more content…

My professors wouldn’t have asked me to help with their classes if I wasn’t extremely competent. My coworkers wouldn’t ask for programs and solutions for integrated systems if I wasn’t proficient. To further that, I think that UW’s initial investment into me as a student seeking CSE wouldn’t have gone through if I wasn’t supposed to do this. Every shot in my life has been a long one, I have had to constantly fight uphill battles, and I have faced rejection many, many times but, that is no reason not to try again. Computer Science is what I want to do with my life, I want to help develop structured artificial intelligence, to develop technologies and systems that can save lives. I don’t know where I will end up, but I want to devote my time, my life to research and development of new technologies no matter the
