<p>I think my essays are pretty good, but I feel limited in the fact the my main essay must be about my reasons for transferring and I can only really talk about myself for about 400 words. </p>

<p>This ended up being a longer post than I expected, but I really appreciate any responses!!</p>

<p>Dean’s List…Why transfer?</p>

<p>I’m unhappy with the unorganization of the engineering school here . . . and honestly, I’d rather be at a school where the majority of people cared more about learning and less about partying</p>
