Hi Mr. Car Engineer, This is Donna Bauman with Stratus Admissions weighing in on your profile.

Hi Mr. Car Engineer, This is Donna Bauman with Stratus Admissions weighing in on your profile.

For GSB be sure you put some thought into what matters most and that you spend time supporting this in your “why.” Would love to know what has sparked your interest in the automotive industry.
