Do colleges really look at the common transfer essay

<p>I am just curious. For those schools who already required their topics in the supplemental application, do they really reviews students' "why transfer essay" or just simply ignore it?</p>

<p>Yes. The “Why Transfer” and “Why X” essays are one of the most critical factors of a transfer application.</p>

<p>How much do you think these essays could make up for less-than-stellar GPA?</p>

<p>Anon, depends on the school. Schools weigh each aspect of the application differently than others.</p>
