A question about transfer essays.

<p>Should I write about my time off between hs and college(2 and 1/2 years) or explain my poor performance in hs( 2.8 gpa, 1440/2400 sat, no ecs). Maybe I should incorporate both topics in my essays? Any other suggestions. :)</p>

<p>Are you using the common app? If so, your main essay must be “Why transfer?”</p>

<p>I’m not sure yet. Honestly, I don’t plan on transfering until fall '12. I haven’t even started school yet and I’m already stressing out. Not a good sign. :(</p>
