<p>Honestly, I have no clue on how start my transfer essay. I have alot of ideas I want to mention but only have a 300 word limit. In addition, UMD requires a transfer student to have a minimum of a 3.0 cumulative gpa to be admitted and I rest near a 2.9. So I want to mention my circumstance and what I ve learned from it and how im better off there. Any insight on what to write? I would greatly appreciate your help. Here is the question:</p>
<p>"An essay describing your past academic experiences and your reasons for wishing to transfer to Maryland at this point in your ademic career is required. Students who have been out of school for several years, or who have a personal circumstance that affected their academic performance, may wish to address that situation in their essay. Your essay should be no more than 300 words."</p>
