<p>I'm going to "community college" for a year before I transferring to either UT Austin, Texas A&M, or UT Dallas. Right now my classes are geared more towards UT Dallas since it's the school I feel is the easiest to get into and less risky. Since I won't start applying until my first semester ends when should I start preparing my essays? UT Austin and Texas A&M both require topic A, UT Austin also requires topic E, and UT Dallas is confusing since on one page for transfer admission it says topic C is required (odd since the other two schools have it optional) and on other parts of the website it says it's optional. What's the difference between all these essays, when should I start writing them, and should I write one essay for schools with the same topic or write an essay for each individual school?</p>
<p>If it helps I plan on pursuing a degree in Radio-Television-Film for UT Austin, Visualization for Texas A&M, or Arts and Technology for UT Dallas. I plan on specializing in visual effects, compositing, motion graphics, and video game level design. I already have experience in After Effects, Premiere, 3DS Max, and UDK.</p>
