For UC transfer essay, some questions.

transfer prompt #1
What is your intended major? discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any experience you have had the field- such as voluneer work; internships and employment, participation in student organizations and activities- and what you have gained from your involvement

all app prompt #2
Tell us about a personal quality, talent, accomplishment, contribution or experience that is important to you. What about this quality or accomplishment makes you proud and how does it relate to the person you are?

My major is communications and In #1 i'm going to write about it.
In #2 essay, i'm going to write about music that I really love.
Can I write something that doesnt relate to my major in #2? does it matter?
what do you think is better topic in #2?
1.volunteer work- teaching english to from preschooler to middle school student(non english speakers) in summer last year
2. passionate about music. Hardships going through it.

Good evening :)

In the second essay, you can write about anything that is important to you; it does not have to involve your intended major. I think writing about your volunteer work is the better choice, because it can show many facets of your personality. For example, you can illustrate your dedication to your community (which will eventually be the campus community), your hard work, your dedication, and your willingness to help with others. This topic will give you a much rounder venue in which to present yourself versus the singular topic about music.

Best of luck!
