^^ FWIW: I’m bit confused about whether the OP is applying as a freshman applicant or transfer applicant. Here’s another thread from the OP: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/1940296-am-i-considered-a-international-transfer-or-a-regular-transfer.html#latest

I am a international student currently studying in the United States. I hold a F1 visa. If I were transfer to another university, will I be considered a regular transfer(since I am transferring from a university in United States), or will I be considered a International transfer(as I am a International student)?

If the OP is applying as a transfer student, they should answer the Common Application Transfer Essay question:

Please provide a statement that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve.

And, based upon this other thread from the OP: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1936303-transfer-essay-help.html#latest

Hi I am planning to apply to Harvard as a transfer applicant, and I need help regarding the “Did any time elapse between high school and college or have you left any school or college voluntarily for an extended period of time?” question in the common app. Should I have an artistic approach(i.e make a scene) or should I answer it as direct as possible.

I would think that writing an essay about playing rock guitar between high school and college would NOT demonstrate their intellectual firepower and move their application forward. Therefore, they should follow the advice of their teacher and write about something else.
