<p>I am trying to get together my essay for statement of reason for transferring for my applications. I intend to transfer at the end of this academic year but I need to be able to put together everything in that time:</p>
<p>Here is the basic outline I have
- Family and financial challenges.
Several sudden deaths prevented me from pursuing any of the colleges I was looking at, my calculated $20,000 EFC became $0 overnight, but was not reflected on my financial profile. Also, those challenges caused many geographical limitations.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Decision to continue education in that time.
My cousin who attended a community college in Alabama to stay close to his mom was the best student in all of Alabama and then transferred to Harvard where he is now earning his masters</p></li>
<li><p>Always knew that I would transfer, need to pursue challenging environment</p></li>
<li><p>Making a case study out of the different schooling environments and challenges that face students in the college world
This sort of arose during my experiences, I started by taking as many classes as I could at a community college then moved to a larger 4 year school with more options, I noticed a huge difference in the environment and the dynamic and am hoping to compare the difference in education between a 2 year school, a large 4 year, and the private institution I hope to attend.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>So what can I add or take out to make a better statement of why I am transferring?</p>
