<p>so in the common app, there's a main essay ask about your reason for transfer and objectives to achieve.
many people told me not to write anything bad about the school i'm in now. is that true?
but how to write it? bc it's common app, i can't address features of each school... </p>
<p>i'm so confused and worried... pls help</p>
<p>Of course you have to be honest and write negative things about your current school, but not in such a way that appears ungrateful or out of line.</p>
<p>E.g., “My current school is not in a position to help me as an engineer because it doesn’t offer courses x, y, or z.”</p>
<p>what about- The opportunities presented by XXX, although are numerous, were unavailable to undergraduates and divided among the huge student body. and then i gave an example about the career fair. </p>
<p>Also i mentioned the professor are hard to reach, class is big and taught by graduates.</p>
<p>does it sound like complaining?</p>
<p>Instead of approaching it as “I disliked x y and z about my school,” aim for things you’re looking for. If you hated big classes, say you’re looking for smaller ones. I’d try to avoid trashing a previous institution as much as possible.</p>
<p>Just talk about the features you’d like in your new school and how they would benefit you.</p>
<p>can someone read my essay and tell me how to revise it?
THANK YOU!!</p>
<p>it’s common app
so i can’t address specific things of schools</p>
<p>Feel free to PM it to me for some critique, if you like.</p>
