<p>yea im late for applying to transfer i know but i wanna get ur opinions on an essay. im applying as a transfer to maryland from umbc the essay question is : An essay describing your academic experience and reasons for wishing to tranfer. what should i write about? i wanna be an economics teacher. i wrote on why i want to a teacher, its pretty much a story essay of me tutoring my sister and why i want to be a teacher. i thought if i include some stuff about my reasons to transfer to maryland on the end, my justification on why i want. unfortunatly, this covers half the story i also need to discuss my academic experience. what the heck is that academic experience ?? should i start babling about all the grades i went through? please help me guys, u guy are cool. what should i discuss, should i use the essay about me tutoring my sister as a mean to explain my reasons to teach?</p>
<p>I'd talk about a class that may have really sparked your interest, or perhaps a teacher that really inspired you. A recommendation from the same person would be quite swell as well. I did that, and I got in UMich :D</p>
<p>hmm... i was lucky enough to not get this question. perhaps you should say the college is in the area you want to live in and since most alumni stick around the area, you will be able to get a job easier. just an idea.</p>
<p>your essay sounds good! i believe that, more often than not, successful applicants focus on what they really want to say rather than what (they think) the adcom wants to hear. up until this point, youve done just that. i would recommend reflecting upon what it is that you want to communicate to the adcom before continuing. with regards to the structure of the essay, you could frame it through the evolution and enlargement of this desire to transmit knowledge, starting with you tutoring your sister to the manners in which you have developed this passion in college thus far, perhaps ending with what you aspire to do in the future and how that specific college can help you reach your goals.</p>
