Common App Transfer Essay

<p>I'm having difficulty in how to approach this. I know why I want to transfer and the goals i hope to attain from doing so, but I'm not sure how I'll be able to articulate this in a semi-eloquent essay without ranting/complaining. I want to highlight the good sides to my institution too but without it seeming "fake." Any suggestions on how to tackle this essay?</p>

<p>With the transfer essay, it’d be better to highlight the good things you are looking for elsewhere, rather than the bad things you want to get away from. You don’t need to focus on the school you are at now.</p>

<p>Thanks, that’s really great advice. I’m almost done with my first rough draft now and I think I’m off to a good start.</p>

<p>Also, should I limit my essay to 2 pages, double-spaced, like with freshman admissions?</p>
