LOR and Essays: (Excellent/Strong/Average): Common App essay was strong, mostly informational and to the point about why I wanted to transfer. Extracurricular essay was excellent in my opinion. I wrote about working at the radio station, and I honestly think it’s one of the best college essays I’ve ever written. One letter of rec from my advisor, I’m pretty confident it’s pretty strong. The other from a professor I knew kind of well, so I’ll only say average for that one.
I also got into University of Illinois at UC, Butler University, and Purdue University so far. Denied at University of Minnesota (not going to take it personally). Still waiting on 3 more schools.
Congrats to everybody that was also accepted! I’m so proud of myself because I was honestly expecting a rejection.
