Hello, So i am writing an email to universities asking for information regarding the application process, I wrote the email but I'd appreciate any help with reviewing what I wrote it in order to address the matter correctly

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

what do you have so far

OpenStudy (abmon98):

.I am interested in applying as a transfer student to study chemical engineering in the 2016-2017(spring semester) academic year and I would like to receive more information regarding the application process. When can I send the required documents via slide room, and where can I find the transfer application in your website

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

i seems ok so far

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Are you sure I can send the email now?

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

unless you need more information than you requested but it seem better than the email i sent

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Thanks, You can send them a better version of an email that clearly address's your doubts. Are you applying this year?

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

OpenStudy (alphawolf):

OpenStudy (abmon98):

Good luck to you too, you still have plenty of opportunities.

@AlphaWolf OSU? As in Oregon State University? @Abmon98 That was pretty well written, but keep in mind, many Colleges/Universities don't respond very well with "I am interested in" Keep it succinct.

@Jaynator495 Ohio State University

@AlphaWolf I'm from Ohio! Though I'm attending University of Akron. Although it's too late, this is my opinion on the letter. -------------- Original: I am interested in applying as a transfer student to study chemical engineering in the 2016-2017(spring semester) academic year and I would like to receive more information regarding the application process. When can I send the required documents via slide room, and where can I find the transfer application in your website -------------- My revision and format: Dear (whatever department you are addressing), I'm interested in applying as a transfer student to study Chemical Engineering for the 2016-2017 Spring Semester. I would like to receive more information regarding the application process. When would I be able to send the required documents via slide room. Also, where can I find the transfer application on your website? Thanks/Sincerely, Your name --------- Have a nice day!

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

*VITAL* Do not say "I'm interested in"

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

That is the NUMBER 1 biggest mistake people make

OpenStudy (ladycielphantomhive):

That's for job applications, though. When wanting information, wouldn't putting "I'm interested in" as in acquiring information?

OpenStudy (abmon98):

So its better to remove my first sentence and get straight to the point?

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

No, be succinct-objective, as little words as possible. They're not interested in learning what you're interested in, trust me. I've written 7-8 of these
