Transfer Student Ohio State

I am applying as a transfer student to Ohio State for the fall. There is an optional personal statement (only required for those who took a break from school) and I was just wondering if it really is optional or if I should fill it out. Thanks!

I am a transfer student who was admitted for this fall! I filled out my personal statement. I highly suggest you do the same as you probably have a better chance at getting in.

Hi! I’m an international transfer though, so it may be different. I didn’t fill in the personal statement but I’ve been admitted for Fall’19 as well. It may or may not affect your chances, so if you do have the time I would suggest filling it.

@HairBear Congrats!! About how long would you say your statement was? Thanks for the advice!

Thanks! I’m super excited to go! It was such a long time ago when I did this lol. I remember it was decently long. Maybe 1-2 paragraphs.
