<p>I'm choosing this question: Discuss an accomplishment or event, formal or informal, that marked your transition from childhood to adulthood within your culture, community, or family.</p>
<p>So I'm going to write about a conversation I had with someone that changed the way I think; I became more mature that way. It made me turn my life around and changed my goals. Can that be an "event"? Or will my essay be off-topic? Please reply soon!</p>
<p>Yes, that can be an informal event, which meets the specification of the question. Just don’t forget the “within your culture, community, or family” bit.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this is a dumb question or not, I’m new to applying. But you can choose the question on the common app? i thought it was only this question…
"Please provide a statement that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve. "</p>
<p>Transfer questions must be different? We’re first-year applicants.</p>
<p>@1collegesearches probably because you checked in as a transfer applicant.</p>
<p>@Phantasmagoria18 Thank you for your reply. I think its very very relevant to my culture, and me as a person.</p>
