Why did I choose my major? (final)

I am a student majoring in mechanical engineering. Why did I choose this majoy? There ar two reasons for me to make this decision:scores and a desire for studying in Taipei. As far as scores are concerned, the reason why I chose Mechanical Engineering as my major at Natioinal Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) was mainly becasue I did not do a good job in Basic Compentence Test (BCT), especially in the part of English test. Although I desired to enter one of the four famous national univeristies, NTU, NTHU, NCTU, or NCKU, my overall scores of BCT do not reach their minimum requirements. When I considered applying for other good universities, I found that they set the minimum English scores to be 12 while my scores were only 8. Knowing that most of the NTUST's departments do not set a limit for applicants (the exception is the Department of Information Engineering, which is my favor), I applied for the Department of Mechanical Engineering by estimating the possibilities for me to be admitted and was luckily accepted by the department finally. As far as my desire to study in Taipei. I have decided to study in Taipei in the future when I was in the first year of senior high. I always want to have more personal space because my parents are strict with me. I like modern cities better than countries because there are a lot of restaurants in modern cities. And I like to eat delicious food. In modern cities, I won’t stay home or school all day because there are many places for me to have fun. Those are why Taipei is the best choice for me. Although the major is not the one I like the most, I still found something I am interested. So I believe I chose the right major for my future.
