Hi, I’m a transfer student applying to Clemson University . I have finished everything on the application but the extracurricular and canidates comments section. Can someone please elaborate on what I put in the candidates comments section. Also is there a certain way to list the extracurricular activities or is it like writing a short essay?
Have not had a student transfer to Clemson, but typical application rationale would suggest:
Candidate Comments: Why you are interested in transferring to Clemson University? How is it a good fit for your goals? What do you have to offer to the Clemson community? And, if you have any aspect of your transcript that could benefit from explanation, that would be the spot to do it.
Extra Curricular:
I would suggest organize by “type”, then list by Name, Role and a brief description. For example…
Volunteer
Habitat for Humanity Club: Club member who designed club promotional flyer and participated in three build days.
Professional Development
Engineers without Borders: Work on team designing and building a water pump to be installed in Nigeria in May 2017.
Work
Panera Bread: Counter staff working an average of 12 hours a week.
Good luck!
