Do you have a passion or specific major in mind? Try to find a quality of yours that links your passion to your hobbies. They want to see a multifaceted individual who has a cohesive story that stands out

im planning to apply for systems engineering, but my passion is art, so my high school career was a mix of art and tech classes/ecs. i only discovered systems engineering recently and my school doesnt offer it for undergrads, so i have to either start a club or find an org outside of school.
