This is a transfer application to Columbia University, specifically Columbia College. Please carefully review the 10-page instruction document attached (PDF), which provides detailed guidelines on writing this admission essay. The document includes the essay prompt, my personal experiences, my extracurricular activities with detailed descriptions, and the reasons for my interest in Columbia (“Why Columbia”). Take your time to write this essay.
What I have shared about my personal experiences represents a “brain dump” of my thoughts. Dear Writer, I would like you to review my story and experiences in conjunction with the 10-page instruction document. What I’ve written so far is a synopsis and a general outline of my story and experiences. I ask that you compile all the information, organize it effectively, and craft a strong and compelling essay for my Columbia transfer application. Refer to page 1 of the instructions for additional guidance. I am NOT asking for a complete rewrite; instead, I want you to gather all the information, structure it well, and create a persuasive, compelling, and polished essay by gathering all the information I shared about myself.

The first sentence or “hook” I want in the first prompt, ‘Explain why you are interested in transferring from your current institution,’ is this sentence: “Changed the cities into walls of social reflection, manifesting communities’ sorry, sorrow, rage and reflection.”
