Ethan is a second-year student in the Chemistry program at the University of Waterloo. Despite a strong academic record with 95s, he faced disappointment when he was rejected from the Mechanical Engineering program, a dream he pursued since high school. Now, he often reflects on the competitiveness of engineering admissions, supporting his friends who also ventured into their own paths. He has a keen interest in organic chemistry and spends his weekends playing video games with his buddies to unwind from the challenges of university life.
