I am applying to UT Austin and need to write an essay.
I am going to write about my experience of moving from a private school to a public school. I chose this because even though I made all A's and B's throughout high-school this move ruined my GPA. The private school was not a state school therefore, the grading system was much different. When I transferred I was in the bottom half of the class. When I graduated I jumped 60 people.
I want UT to know I am not just an idiot, and there is reasoning behind my high-school transcript. I also don't want it to sound like an excuse.
PLEASE HELP!!!
