Hi Rocky! Those essays can be so tough! When I was in college, I went to three different schools before ending up at the school where I got my Bachelor's degree.

As you write your essay, I would just be honest in your answer. Start out with explaining why you are transferring. This could be as simple as, "I've completed the coursework at my community college and am ready to start learning at a four-year institution!" or "I was enrolled at [school name] but didn't feel like it was a good fit because [reason], so I'm making the choice to transfer to [school name] because it seems like a better fit for me based on [reason]. "

If your transferring to a school because they offer a specific program, tell them that you're interested in that program and why! Share your excitement while you're writing and don't overthink it. You'll do great!
