I want to tell the admission officers that I was a transfer student of my high school. I was supposed to go to a school with less resources and money but I pushed my parents and researched extensively in order to go to a school out of my district in order to participate in their medical academy and AP classes. I also want to note that this school consists of mainly rich students of doctors, engineers, and architects with an abundant amount of resources which is a stark contrast to my situation. Despite other students having the “upper hand”, I still managed to be my class’s valedictorian and thrive in an incredibly competitive environment.
My question is: should I write about this in my additional information or is it useless and trite? Would this add any value in my common app?
