<p>Is it good for my topic to be about getting rejected from so many colleges but still having the determination and courage to still apply to others? </p>
<p>No. Just no. I’m assuming you took a gap year - what did you do to make yourself a more attractive applicant this time around?</p>
<p>There is an essay section where you can browse the tips pinned on the top. I agree this is not a good idea. It isn’t a very important point to make, imo. It is more important to focus on your accomplishments and qualifications. It isn’t important that you got rejected and do you really want to point that out and make that what you want to present to the officers? Sure everyone who gets rejected has to apply again if they want to go to college. No biggie. Maybe you just had an unreasonable list the first time.</p>

<p>The topic would be risky, at best. If you trust your own wit and wisdom enough to twist it around to work for you, go ahead, but I would heartily recommend running a draft essay past someone knowledgeable. </p>
<p>Yes I wasn’t exactly sure if I wanted to go with type of a topic. I understand that I should talk about more of my accomplishments rather than my rejections and what makes me qualify to become a student at the school. Plus I am in college it’s just not exactly the college I planned to attend so I am trying to transfer out</p>
<p>Well you should have said you were doing a transfer application. But that still is a bad topic. There is no way that is an interesting topic at all. It is even silly to say that you have determination and courage to fill out some paperwork and write an essay. Kind of lame.</p>
<p>Transfer applicants should be even more specific than regular applications about qualifications, character, extracurriculars that you bring to the school. You will do yourself a favor to talk more about why the school you are applying to fits you better-- or you fit it-- for academic, extracurricular and personal reasons.</p>
<p>Well I didn’t think the topic was great anyways I was just asking for a second opinion. My original choice was to talk about how the school fits me or what I would bring to the school being a student there, but it just seemed as if a lot of others would be talking about the same thing </p>
<p>Usually one of the transfer prompts will directly ask you that question. Have you looked at the admissions pages for the transfer prompts for your colleges?</p>
<p>Yes I did the essay is the subject of my choice but there is a short answer that asks why do I believe the school is a good academic match for me. So it would be si</p>
<p>Silly for me to write about the same thing in my essay </p>
