Hi, I’m a transfer student and i’d like to begin my essays over the summer so that I won’t be too distracted by them during the fall semester. I know that there is typically a general why transfer topic and then a specific one for the school, but is there also a generic essay about yourself/your major?
I am a marine bio student and when I applied to colleges the first time around my essay was about how my many years of fish keeping(my #1 hobby) taught me many life lessons. It was humorous, but I felt as though it really showed the admissions committee a part of myself and why I chose that major.
I wouldn’t want to reuse the essay but I would like to keep a similar topic, but i’m not sure how it would fit in with transfer essays. I could talk about how my CC doesn’t have any courses related to marine bio. However it would be easier if there was a supplemental essay section or just a general essay.
Can anyone give me more details about the transfer essay process, or their opinion on this topic? Thank you!
