<p>I would keep it to the point as much as possible. I have written a fair amount on this topic on my website [What</a> Do I Say In My Essay?](<a href=“http://community.wvu.edu/~mrn006/ndtransfer/essay.html]What”>http://community.wvu.edu/~mrn006/ndtransfer/essay.html) so I hope that helps some. The overall website may also have information which you will find useful [Transferring</a> to Notre Dame](<a href=“http://community.wvu.edu/~mrn006/ndtransfer/]Transferring”>http://community.wvu.edu/~mrn006/ndtransfer/) Please let me know if you have other questions, and I am sorry to answer your post with a link, but my thoughts haven’t changed much in the last few years :).</p>
