Hi there! It's great that you're passionate about STEM and want to showcase that in your college application.

One of the best ways to demonstrate your interest is by highlighting relevant extracurricular activities, such as participating in science clubs, math competitions, or coding clubs. If you've taken part in any research projects or internships, definitely include those experiences as well.

In your essays, try to convey your enthusiasm for STEM by discussing specific experiences or projects that inspired you and your future goals in the field. Additionally, your letters of recommendation can play a crucial role in showcasing your aptitude for STEM, so consider asking teachers in those subject areas to write on your behalf.

Lastly, don't forget to consider applying to specialized STEM programs or scholarships that may be available at the schools you're interested in. Good luck on your college journey!
