<p>I'm a transfer student for the Spring 2012 semester...</p>
<p>I called in today to double check I had turned in all the necessary documents..</p>
<p>I was then told I needed to turn in an "essay" 250-500 words on anything of my choosing?</p>
<p>I was told it could be " anything from a book report, to a English paper, or even a personal statement"</p>
<p>I already have filled out the common app / supplement..</p>
<p>What is the point of this essay and are there any recommendations on what to write about?</p>
