College essay help??

I had to transfer to 3 different high schools over the years and I want to explain it thoroughly on my essay but my English teacher told me it was a very weak topic. it’s already mentioned it in my guidance recommendation and I think it will be too repetitive if I mention it again. Should I choose a different topic or just not hand in the guidance recommendation?

On the Common App there’s a section called “Additional Information” where that could go. Keep it in the guidance stuff; explaining circumstances sounds less like an excuse when coming from authority.

Do your essay on something interesting and engaging!

@bodangles’ advice is spot on.

You will need a counselor recommendation either way, so don’t wast your essay on it.
