Transfer. Undecided. Statement of Purpose.

<p>If you were applying as "undecided," what would you write about for:</p>

<p>"The statement of purpose will provide an opportunity to explain any extenuating circumstances that you feel could add value to your application. You may also want to explain unique aspects of your academic background or valued experiences you may have had that relate to your academic discipline. The statement of purpose is not meant to be a listing of accomplishments in high school or a record of your participation in school-related activities. Rather, this is your opportunity to address the admissions committee directly and to let us know more about you as an individual, in a manner that your transcripts and other application information cannot convey." </p>

<p>I want to do an internal transfer to MIS after I (hopefully) get in.
I'm not sure if I should mention that.</p>

<p>I'm quite lost.
Any tips?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>is that the optional short answer?</p>

<p>no, it's the main (required) essay.</p>

<p>Is writing about having been born in Cuba, moving to Bolivia and then Texas a good topic?
I didn't know any English when I first came here (almost 4 years ago).</p>

<p>I just don't want it to sound like the "typical immigrant" essay..</p>

<p>go for it. thats the whole point of the essay.</p>
