<p>Ok, like the topic says. I did OK in High School.</p>

<p>GPA: 82/100
SAT: 800/1600
Class Rank: 50%</p>

<p>But now I'm doing great at a State University (4.0 GPA) and want to transfer to a better University.</p>

<p>Do you guys think this is a good topic? To be honest if you ask me why I did OK in High School it was because I was lazy and really didn't care much about my education. Now that I'm older and I have matured I see things differently. How could I put this into an essay, would it make a good topic? How would I say... "I was a lazy donkey in High School, but now I'm doing great in College"</p>

<p>I'd appreciate your help thanks!</p>

<p>I would say you should mention that in your why transfer essay but focus more on why you would specifically be a good fit for _____school. </p>

<p>As for the second essay, which is usually along the lines of tell us about yourself or what are your goals I would pick something more creative. But it all depends on how you approach the topic I suppose.</p>
