advice on common app
Hello, I transferred schools at the beginning of my junior year. In my descriptions, I put that I transferred schools because I felt like I wasn't being challenged academically. I also mentioned how I worked hard at my new school and I mentioned the challenging courses I'm taking and the honor societies awards I got. Should I rewrite my description of why I transferred schools?

Your description sounds good to me! Since admissions officers will see your transcript and you can put down honor society awards in the awards section of the Common App, it is not necessary to go into too much detail about these parts. Hope this helps!
