Personal Statement:
"I am a freshman computer engineering major at University of Maryland - College Park. An honors student, I pride myself as being a well rounded person, even though a consistent eighteen credit course load of the toughest courses suggests the opposite. I do not yet know what to do with the bachelor's degree when I graduate in 2010; assumedly I will use it to get a job, but what kind of job is the big question."
