Hey, I’m applying for transfer admission to Columbia as a junior.
The Common Application transfer student essay gives you ample space to describe your reasons for wanting to transfer to a different college. Columbia’s supplemental essays ask you to explain your reasons for wanting to transfer to Columbia in particular. Therefore, in the Common Application essay, is writing about what I want in a college okay, since I have plenty of space in the other essays to explain specifically why I want to transfer to Columbia? Or could that be too vague?
