Undergraduate / 'After getting denied...' - my transfer essay [5]
SLIGHTLY UPDATED. I am not 100% finished but here is what I have so far. I tried to put in more specific details pertaining to me instead of sounding bland and generic.
Finding out that I was denied admission to Virginia Tech as a freshman was devastating; however, I now see it as a blessing in disguise. After getting denied, I made up my mind that I was going to push harder against adversity instead of letting it define what I could accomplish. Since I knew Virginia Tech was the only college I wished to attend, I decided to go to a local community college and work hard to reach my goal of studying at Virginia Tech. While at Danville Community College, I have worked extremely hard to ensure a smooth transition. I feel as though taking classes at DCC for one year was the best option for me. I have been able to get the feel of college courses and get my basics out of the way while living in the comfort of my own home. I have grown stronger as a student and feel as though I can tackle any college course I would be faced with. I have thoroughly made the most out of my time here at DCC, but am now ready to start my sophomore year at Virginia Tech. At DCC, I cannot graduate with an associate's degree. I have made high goals for myself to major in Human Development and receive my master's degree in elementary education. I also crave to get the full college experience. I have high hopes of living in a dorm room and learning to live and get along with a roommate. In addition, I plan on joining a sorority and getting the feeling of being part of a close family which my current college does not offer. After doing much research, I know that I will get more out of the opportunities in Blacksburg than in any college in the state.
