Questions about UVA transfer?

<p>I have a few questions about the common app.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>When I called the admission office they said none of the forms were required. I have also read, but am not sure about the teacher recommendation. It says this is not required, but rather recommended will it hurt if I don't send one?</p></li>
<li><p>For the common app essay it asks what are my reasons for transferring. However in the supplement it asks how is your career plan associated with your course of study. I feel like some of the stuff will overlap in both of these essays is that okay/ how should I approach this?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>thanks in advance. has anybody successfully transferred to UVA that can help me?</p>
