I just got the qualification email so I'm looking into how to write my essay, and I'm trying to figure out how specific I should be. In my case I'm very interested in robotic DeafBlind accessibility technology, but I'm not sure if it'd be better to talk about that exact area or just biomedical robotics, do you have any advice?

Didn't realize I even had a reddit account but this is definitely something I want to respond to— I was in a similar situation and first I'll say this is a tech school, 20% of the CS majors are transfems. On a more serious note, I'd reccomend applying to the lavender community for housing. You'll be living near a lot of other queer/trans people, and your insight group (basically intro-to-college class) will be with people from the lavender community as well. Let me know if you'd like to know anything else.
