<p>On the common application for transfer students, do they want you to write a specific why transfer essay for each university you're applying to or one general essay that they'll in turn submit to all of the universities?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Don't write one general essay for all. Write your reasons for transfer/objectives you hope to achieve like the question asks, but then add about why you want to go to each school. This will allow you to reuse a lot of it. It also depends on whether or not they have supplemental essays and if so, what those essays ask. </p>
<p>I am doing the common app for 2 schools, one has no supplemental essay, but the other does, and it is very school specific. For this reason, I am writing a lot about why I like school 1 in the personal statement since it is the only place to do so, but for school 2 I will delete all the info about school 1 and write why I fit at school 2 in its supplemental essay instead of the personal statement. My personal statement will be much more general for school 2 than school 1.</p>
