Prompt :Please provide a statement that addresses your reasons for transferring and the objectives you hope to achieve. (250-650 words)
Before being enrolled in the college, I have been thinking of my major choice. From junior middle school years, I have been fascinated by finance and financial terms under the bracket. My desire to pursue a successful career in financial services began to accumulate from that time and two years ago I took the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE). In China, NCEE is always decisive in determining the futures of millions of Chinese high school seniors, and finally I succeeded to be a student in a university that excels in the field. Immersed in the thick academic atmosphere in ZNUEL, I am inspired and therefore pursuant of macroscopic studies of finance, money, banking, and foreign exchanges.
Building up knowledge base had never caught me toiling all night, but applying them to real-world problems has troubled me for my semesters at ZNUEL. I took Economics of Money and Banking last fall and was intrigued by how the terms and concepts were delivered in the class. However, when I was assigned to explain-and to expatriate on the plan's impacts and implications on China's end, the task of putting pieces together became prohibitive: the terms and theories failed to marshal a complete and comprehensive explanation. The class assignment ended up with most of the class knuckling under in spite of the professor's excellent teaching and popular interest in the subject matter.
Subsequently, I realized that experience and practical training are just as important as knowledge itself, and while diligence pledges solid academic foundations, it takes brilliance in methodology to bridge knowledge with practice.
I had several talks with my fellow students, wondering how they feel about the teaching method. Most of them told me they were prone to further theoretical study after undergraduate study, which is by no means my target, and they find this studying mode quite appropriate.
For me, the years at ZNUEL resembles a process of topping up the teakettle with dumplings of knowledge. I was constantly on the receiving end, and was never equipped with the proper outlet to elaborate on them. Therefore, at this point of my college career, I have opted to apply for schools that value the integration of learning with practicality.
Hello,
In this essay you have tried to explain why you want to transfer- namely because you want a different teaching style that you feel will better serve you in the real world. However, this essay may be better suited for the individual school essay or to answer the question "Why this school." This way, you can directly talk about the learning style at the school in question and how it is better suited for you compared to the one at your current university. You can use the general common app application to talk about your general future and what you want to accomplish. Especially for transfer students - it is really important that you show that you have fully researched a school. -Admissions Advice Online
