Hello guys, I have been working on this letter for quite a while. I feel very insecure about contacting my first choice university because I am not native in english, and I know how though competition is on a global level.
Please feel free to give me any sort of critic.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am xxxxx, a 19 year old Austrian aspiring to go to xxxxxx University. Your website was helpful to answer many of my questions regarding the application process, yet I would be very grateful if you were so kind to answer a specific inquiry.
I am sorry to add private details to this email, but I strongly feel that they are essential to assess my situation. Due to a shoulder injury I was declared unfit to complete the Austrian mandatory military service, a duty every Austrian male is subject to after his graduation from secondary education. I wanted to gain experience of what to do with my life before I head off to college. As a result I took the initiative and decided to do an exchange year In the United States instead. The upcoming eleven months was an important experience and fostered one eventual decision: I want to continue my studies in the United States. Upon my return I started to search for colleges and began to work on my college application. Meanwhile I matriculated at the Vienna University of Economics and Law to make the most of my time, so I thought.
Now I see myself confronted with the fact that though I haven’t earned any credits at my current University, xxxxxx University considers me a transfer student.
I don’t see myself continuing the tight business orientated schedule and rather embrace the opportunities of a liberal arts education at xxxxx University.
I am afraid that my proceedings were perilous to my chances of acceptance.
Could you please tell me if I have to fill out the CommonApp as a transfer or first year student? Besides, how would being a transfer student affect my life at xxxx University if I haven’t earned any credits yet.
Yours sincerely,
xxxxxxxxx
