Hi eeryone, I am applying for PhD programs in chemical engineering for Fall 2017. I haven't been able to find much info on this, and I'm hoping someone here might have some advice. I think one of the more important aspects of my undergrad career was playing on the school lacrosse team while earning my degree. I think it taught me about dedication and perseverance, and I think my ability to excel in academics while committing 25+ hours a week to the sport puts me a cut above others who solely focused on school work. My question is: is this an appropriate thing to mention in my application, and what is the best way to convey the ways that I think my lacrosse experience will serve me in graduate school?
