<p>I'm trying to write an essay about the reasons for my transfer to a new college. The thing is, I'm not sure what I want to major in because I am interested in accounting, design, and psychology... When I'm writing my essay should I specify exactly what program I want to go into. In that case, I would have to write a different essay for each school, because they all offer different majors.</p>
<p>anyone???</p>
<p>Talk about your interests, explain why you are interested in those things and that you aren’t sure which one you are going to pick as a major, talk about why you want to transfer out of your current college, what you are looking for in a college, and definitely talk about your future plans/goals/dreams…etc. etc.</p>
<p>The importance of talking about a specific major is going to be different if you’re applying for a soph transfer vs. a jr transfer. As a soph, it isn’t a problem that you’re not sure about your major, but as a transferring jr, you will be declaring your major immediately and so it will likely be a bigger part of why you want to go to a specific school.</p>
<p>As far as writing different essays for different schools, that’s not a problem as the CA lets you write an essay, send your app to a school(s), modify the essay (or any other part of your app, and send it to another school, etc.</p>
<p>Well I think you kind of answered your own question in a way. You don’t <em>NEED</em> to talk about your major - just talk about why you want to leave and what you can contribute to the university you wish to attend.</p>
<p>I had to fill out the CA transfer application this past year, and I didn’t mention my major much - I talked about the one-dimensionality of my previous school, since it was an engineering school, and how the Art High School I went to taught me to appreciate the Liberal Arts in spite of my technical interests and that I now sought a university that outputted a well-rounded individual.</p>
