College Transfer Essay Coaching — One-on-One Coaching With Gramma's Jam
Transferring to a four-year college or university is one of the most exciting — and most misunderstood — paths in higher education. The transfer application process can be significantly different from first-year admissions, and the essays that got you into community college may not get you into your transfer destination. Jesse Shamshoian specializes in helping transfer students craft the specific essays and personal statements that transfer applications require.
What Makes Transfer Essays Different
Transfer applicants face a unique set of essay challenges. Unlike first-year applicants, you need to explain your academic journey, why you're ready to transfer, what you've accomplished since high school, and why a specific institution is the right next step for you. UC transfer applicants also face their own set of personal insight questions, separate from the first-year PIQs. Getting the strategy right from the start is critical — and Jesse can help.
