<p>Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to direct me to perhaps a website of some sort that can advise me on how to write a superb transfer essay. Since I plan to major in literature, I understand my essay must display an ever greater proficiency of style and language than say, a chemistry applicant. (Though of course a good command of writing and a knack for science don't have to be mutually exclusive.)</p>
<p>If no such site exists, then please ignore my post and let it perish into CC archives. If one does, please pass the site along. Thank you :)</p>
<p>bleh UCLA transfer admissions guide has pointers. just take an english class at your CC or w/e and have your prof give you tips. also speak to transfer counselors. and theres an endless slew of books available on the topic.</p>
<p>hmm in my humble opinion, and i do highlight the word opinion, your idea of a superb transfer essay seems... wrong...</p>
<p>^^^ haha, I actually agree with you! I wrote that late...and I racked my brain thinking of the right adjective but I came up short. It seems misused right?</p>
<p>I guess I'll just say a really, really good essay. Bad lit major!</p>
<p>Well, that's why I'm still a student.</p>
<p>Your humble opinion is very much appreciated!</p>
<p>^ hence the name Loadedwords.</p>
<p>eh TBH i really have no idea how much scrutiny they would put into an essay lit major. because then again i am not a lit major. but i think that writing a superb essay and all UC advisers will say the same is to clearly show who u r. the more stuff about you and i m not talking about exaggeration or brown nosing, that u present to the reader in the least number of words, while leaving a strong impression would leave you a winner.
and then i don't know if they judge lit majors differently.
if u want good essays there should be transfer organizations like TAP and such. they usually keep a record of essays and such during their seminars and stuff you could alwaes ask if u could browse through them or smth, or just read it if they don't want to show it to u due to privacy.
i think by reading those of admitted students of ur major can u really see the standard of writing and what the admission officers are looking for...</p>
