<p>Hello everyone,
I`m applying to a private college as a second year community college transfer. They are asking me to write an essay on "why at this point in your academic or professional career you would like to transfer?"<br>
I can only afford the school if I get accepted with the transfer scholarship that they are offering. Do you think I should mention that in my essay? They require 3.2 GPA for the scholarship, and I have around 3.34. DO you think that would affect their decision?
Thank you all in advance.!</p>
<p>I wouldn’t include it. You don’t know if that’ll have a positive or a negative effect on their decision (or no effect at all), and it doesn’t really help answer the prompt, so I don’t see a point. That’s just my personal opinion though, not 100% sure...</p>
<p>thank you star, I decided not to mention that at all. since applying with financial aid is a disadvantage I though this would also have a similar affect.</p>
