This short answer questions are important and will help the placement committee decide whether to accept you and which module might be the best fit for you.
Your short answers do not have to be a work of art or a perfect document for an english class. It is your chance to introduce yourself, and we want to hear your voice. Tell us about your interests, hobbies, and things you like to do. Experiences that you have had in the areas of science and engineering. What would the opportunity of attending ASRA mean to you?
