<p>should i write i dropped out of school sophomore year and that i lived by myself although i wrote about it for the main essay ?</p>
<p>If you already wrote about it, why mention it again?</p>
<p>^^ agree, don’t repeat it unless it is new information.</p>
<p>do you guys believe that it is a good idea or if i even should talk about my life as a high-school drop out turning into a perfectionist 4.0 student in CC for the common app’s prompt “Please provide a statement (appr. 250-500 words) that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.” ?</p>
<p>Seems to me like that would in no way respond to the prompt. If you can figure out a way to tie it in, then go for it. But if you just insert it for the sake of inserting it, it’ll be obvious and not look very good.</p>
<p>Unless it’s new information that would make a significant change to your application, don’t put it in. Since you’ve already written an entire essay on this subject, I think they should be able to get the message without you stating it again! :)</p>
