(Ostensible) Reasons for transferring: Want to be at a school with similar academics in a new location as setting is an important aspect of the college experience (I stayed in my hometown because the school is very good, but I now realize this was a mistake), love the Open Curriculum (will give the reasons that everyone else does)

Ask me for more details if you need them to assess my chances.
