As a future civil engineering student, what things should i prioritize or focus on the most in college (Grades, Internships, hands on projects) in order to be successful in the future after graduating? Which would have the longest term impact on careers and what did you wish you focused on more in school?

I am a high school senior and I want to study and go into civil engineering, I know there are a lot of specialties in the field so I'm excited to learn more about them. I've shadowed a civil engineer which helped me understand the job more and made me more curious about the projects they work on.

Why do Colleges often ask questions of something personal of your life? When often they will most likely expect similar answers.

Many people often go through the same struggle. It may not mean anything to these college boards but it is what they are struggling with and found the most hard thing of their life.
