How do you write great college essays that stand out among applicants for transfer students?

Question

D.Transfers only: Please discuss your interest in transferring to New York University. Explain your reasons for wanting to leave your current college or university (or if not currently in attendance, why you left the last institution you attended), and describe how you feel your educational goals can be better achieved at NYU.

Please reflect on your reasons for considering a transfer. Why are you transferring? Why was your most recent college not a good fit? What do you know now that you didn't know during your first college search process?

b. (FOR TRANSFER APPLICANTS ONLY). Consider the books, essays, poems, or journal articles you have read over the last year or two, either for school or leisure. Please discuss the way in which one of them has changed your understanding of the world, other people, or yourself.

There are about 3 or 4 different essays to write! I NEED MAJOR HELP!

Answer 1

My advice to you is make sure all spelling, grammer, and puncuation is correct because they will check this with a fine tooth comb. Secondly, vary sentence length and type mixing in simple sentences all the way up to complex compound sentences. Thirdly, if you do option A do not bad mouth the other school, but be honest. Fourthly DO NOT use the words That (redundent), I or You (college writting should not have these words, instead use one, who, whom, etc.). Hope this helps
