How should I write 'Why transferred high schools' section on common app?Answered
During my high school life, I attended three different schools. On the common app, there is a section that writes the reason why I left my previous school or why I choose to attend school. What I am wonder is should I write this section in essay format or bullet points format?

So I’d say neither but essay would be the closest as you should write in more of a SRQ (short response question) For North School to West School say
In x semester of x year I transferred from North school to West school becuase of insert reason (moving opt in etc). West offers x y z which North didn’t. I made sure to take advantage of the new opportunities offered at the new school by doing blah blah
Then repeat it for West School for South School by subbing the words.
Hope this helps and please comment if you need clarification as I’d be happy to help clarify!
i am writing to provide further information about my previous secondary/high schools and the reasons for leaving each of them. Firstly, i have changed my school into another one in order to study better and persue a more challenging academic environment and I had to made the decision to change school. At my previous school, there were no any opportunities and resources to improve my academic performance and aspirasions. Therefore, I sought out a school that could provide me with the necessary knowledge, experience and boosting other skills. I was enrolled into this school after taking challenging exam tasks. Furthermore, my current school is one of the most prestigious schools in my country.

Hey! Upon graduating secondary school I changed my high school (I was studying at public school) to a boarding school at a new city. In my new school, I studied with a partial scholarship, and I studied there for one academuic year. But, the following year I failed to get a scholarship at this school and went back to my previous schoool. What do you think how should I explain this case? If I say that I couldn't afford the increased attendance fee, wouldn't it harm my financial sides? Thank you!
