I know that for the 2019-2020 year the personal statement for Common App Transfer was this:

The personal statement helps colleges get to know you better as a person and a student. Please provide a statement discussing your educational path. How does continuing your education at a new institution help you achieve your future goals?

It seems like that they will change it for 2020-2021. Does anyone know what is the 2021 personal statement for transferring? Is it still going to be a very similar, transfer oriented prompt? I’ve read that they will scrap the transfer personal statement all together and just let transfer students choose from the first year prompts. However, what are the chances that most colleges don’t bother to update their requirements, and still use the old prompt?
