Having lived in Los Angeles for the best part of my life, The University of Southern
California became more than a university to me. I consider it a light of opportunity that is within
my home city. I decided that I want to transfer to USC because of my firm desire to grow, both
personally and academically. During this important stage of my educational journey, I have come
to love USC’s vibrant community, renowned academic programs, and the countless opportunities
that will drive my personal and professional growth. I have five siblings in my family. Growing
up, I undertook significant responsibilities such as caring for my younger siblings. Over the past
year at Santa Monica College, I have embraced the opportunities and challenges that come with
independence and higher education. Now, as I plan to embark on the next phase of my academic
career, I am ready and happy to embrace the dynamic environment that USC offers.
One compelling aspect of USC is the diverse and inclusive community that it offers. I was
raised in a culture where open-mindedness and difference were not welcomed. However, I love
that USC represents diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. My interaction with
USC students at a recent SZA concert stressed this diversity and left a lasting impression on me.
The students I met were very warm and friendly, and this affirmed my belief in the transformative
power of connecting with individuals from different walks of life.
At the same time, the robust academics offered at USC are in line with my aspirations and
career goals. Applying to the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences as a
Psychology major reflects my passion for understanding human behavior and making a
meaningful impact in the lives of others. More specifically, I aim to pursue a career as a pediatric
occupational therapist. This will enable me to leverage my expertise in psychology to improve
the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of children. The well-known USC research
programs and access to admirable faculty members and individuals will be beneficial as I aspire
to deepen my understanding of psychological principles and increase my knowledge base.
Additionally, the emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration at USC as well as hands-on learning
opportunities will help me to gain skills and experiences required to excel in my career field. The
internships, study abroad programs, networking events, and academic support services at USC
offer abundant resources that will support my academic and professional growth. Also, the
commitment of USC to foster a culture of innovation and creativity is in line with my aspirations.
It provides me with a stimulating environment to excel and push boundaries in my academic
pursuits.
USC stands out as the perfect environment to explore my academic passions and fully
develop my capabilities when considering my reasons and motivations for transferring as well as
the goals I aim to accomplish. USC’s campus life, a sense of community, and strong sports
culture resonate with me on a personal level. This offers the perfect balance of academic intensity
and co-curricular enhancement. Looking ahead, I am committed to making sure that I make the
most out of my time at USC. I will seize every opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to the
university community. I will do this through research projects, volunteer work, and taking part in
campus organizations. I am looking forward to making a positive impact and creating meaningful
connections with my peers and mentors.
All being said, my decision to transfer to USC is a representation of a transformative step
that I making towards fulfilling my dreams. I am also making a meaningful difference in the
world. USC is an embodiment of everything that I seek in a university and more, especially with
its rich history, innovative spirit, and a firm commitment to excellence. I am excited about the
possibilities that are ahead of me and I am confident that USC will offer the skills, knowledge,
and experiences that are needed to excel in my personal, academic, and professional endeavors.
Describe how you plan to pursue your academic interests and why you want to explore
them at USC specifically. Please feel free to address your first- and second-choice major
selections. (Approximately 250 words)
As I transition from community college to university, my academic journey finds its next chapter
at the University of Southern California. I am eager to delve deeper into the field of psychology
within the USC Dornsife School. The rich academic landscape at USC is in alignment with my
academic interests and career aspirations toward becoming a pediatric occupational therapist.
Additionally, I am in awe of USC’s commitment to fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and
hands-on learning experiences. One unique aspect of USC’s psychology program that captivates
me is the collection of specialized courses offered. For instance, the Sensation and Perception
course delves into receptor processes and stimulus organization. This provides a comprehensive
understanding of how we interpret the world around us. Similarly, Children’s Learning and
Cognitive Development merges theoretical principles with practical application through tutoring
experiences. These courses are in line with my passion for pediatric occupational therapy and
give me the experiences and learning tools I need to guide me toward my path of success.
Additionally, the emphasis on psychobiology in courses like Behavioral Neuroscience resonates
deeply with my desire to explore the neural underpinnings of behavior and cognition. These
courses offer invaluable insights into the complexities of human behavior. It also equips students
with practical skills that transcend the classroom. Outside of coursework, I am keen to engage in
the university’s vibrant academic community through participation in research projects,
internships, and networking events. USC provides strong research opportunities, which, together
with its proximity to top-tier medical facilities, offer incomparable avenues for professional
growth and development in the field of psychology.
My decision to pursue psychology stems from a profound desire to make a positive
impact on the lives of others, particularly children facing developmental challenges. USC’s
renowned faculty, diverse student body, and numerous resources make it the ideal environment
for me to cultivate my skills, expand my knowledge, and contribute meaningfully to the field. Its
commitment to excellence and innovation resonates with my future dreams and goals, and I am
confident that my academic journey will flourish at USC.
University of Texas Austin Transfer Application STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
As I embark on this journey to apply to the University of Texas at Austin, I am compelled to
reflect on the defining moments that have shaped my aspirations and academic pursuits. My
passion is to become a pediatric occupational therapist, dedicated to impacting the lives of
children, especially those with special needs. This dedication drives my pursuit of excellence in
academia and empowers me to actively seek out opportunities to further my understanding of the
details of child development and therapy. I am passionate and driven to continually grow and
evolve, aspiring to become a compassionate advocate for the well-being and advancement of
every child I encounter.
My journey toward realizing this dream has resulted from different experiences and deliberate
choices that contribute to my personal and professional growth. Recently, I obtained certification
as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) through the Autism Partnership Foundation. This
certification was not a means to an end but a testament to my dedication to acquiring the
knowledge and skills needed to excel in my chosen field. Working directly with children with
autism between the ages of 3 to 8 has been an immensely rewarding experience. I have been
entrusted with the responsibility of facilitating their development, fostering positive behavior,
and enhancing their overall well-being.
My decision to pursue a major in Psychology at the College of Liberal Arts aligns seamlessly
with my career aspirations. Exploring the depths of human cognition, child psychology, and
lifespan development as a Longhorn will provide me with a deep understanding of the
psychological aspects crucial in pediatric occupational therapy. Additionally, UT Austin’s
emphasis on interdisciplinary learning and research opportunities will provide me with a solid
foundation to explore innovative approaches toward addressing the unique needs of children with
disabilities.
The Moody College of Communication emerges as another light of opportunity in my academic
journey. Through its Communication Studies and Corporate Communication program, I envision
strengthening my communication skills, which are crucial in establishing rapport with young
patients and their families. Communication, both verbal and non-verbal, lies at the heart of
effective therapy, and my experiences as an RBT underscore the significance of this aspect in
facilitating meaningful connections and fostering trust.
What sets UT Austin apart is its academic excellence and also its core values and vibrant
community. Through meticulous research, I have come to admire the university’s commitment to
diversity, inclusion, and innovation. The ethos of collaboration and mutual support permeates
through every facet of campus life, fostering an environment where students are empowered to
thrive both academically and personally. As someone who values community engagement and
social responsibility, I am eager to contribute to UT Austin’s ethos by actively participating in
initiatives that promote inclusivity and foster a sense of belonging among students from diverse
backgrounds.
UT Austin’s comprehensive curriculum, together with its vibrant community, offers a conducive
environment for me to continue my journey of self-discovery and academic excellence. I aim to
fulfill my aspirations and make a meaningful impact in the lives of others by taking initiative in
my education, exploring my love for learning, and actively supporting my community. With each
step forward, guided by purpose and passion, I am confident that UT Austin will catalyze my
continued growth and success as a future pediatric occupational therapist.

Discuss an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal
growth and a new understanding of yourself or others. approx. (350 – 650 words).
Since I was a child, I have been drawn to pursuing a career in healthcare, owing to my
innate behavior of helping others out because I believe in the idea that every being on earth
deserves the best quality of life. While dreaming of joining the healthcare fraternity, I had not
decided on what I wanted to pursue until this time when I was actively involved in taking care of
my nephew and niece two years ago. This experience transformed my life because it gave me a
better understanding of myself and a sense of purpose I was hoping to find to decide on the right
career path to venture in. Reflecting on my past experiences is a guarantee that transferring from
Santa Monica College to Loyola Marymount University will be the stepping stone to finally
building a successful career as a pediatric occupational therapist.
Living with my brother and my sister-in-law, who both work as veterinarians, propelled a
compassionate side of me that, despite having existed, I didn’t know was as deep. Since both my
brother and sister-in-law were caught up with work, I was tasked with taking care of Abe, my
3-year-old nephew, and my 2-year-old niece, Faye, an experience that was both fulfilling and
enjoyable at the same time. While babysitting my nephew and niece, I developed a passion for
kids because I was involved in educating them about subtle things like morals, kindness, and
empathy in a way they could understand best. My passion for working with and taking care of
kids also stemmed from the fact that I spent a significant amount of time with my nephew and
niece, watching them take their first steps, changing their diapers, engaging them in activities
like painting, and teaching them meaningful life skills.
The time I spent taking care of my nephew and niece helped me develop several strengths
that I believe will help me succeed in many courses and my future career as a pediatric
occupational therapist. I have strong communication skills, as I can easily interact with children
and use age-appropriate language in a way that makes it easy for the kids to express themselves.
I am also highly empathetic in that taking care of my niece and nephew enhanced my emotional
intelligence, making it easier to listen to and understand kids and their complex needs. I have
also gained meaningful insights from the Registered Behavior Technician certificate that I
obtained to help propel me toward working with children on a professional level. My knowledge
when training to be an RBT helped me gain relevant knowledge and skills necessary to work
with kids by helping them communicate, express their needs, make friends, and achieve their
potential. Being an RBT has also equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of Applied
Behavior Analysis, an approach that plays a significant role in occupational therapy by helping
teach simple and complex skills, promote behavioral skills, and enhance social interaction.
Transferring from Santa Monica College to Loyola Marymount University will offer me a
reasonable chance to advance my knowledge and hone my skills, ensuring a successful career as
a pediatric occupational therapist. LMU is renewed for a comprehensive curriculum that
combines classroom knowledge and real-world applications, offering its students a wholesome
learning experience. The school also has a dedicated team of experienced professors and
researchers with whom I will engage to acquire real-time knowledge of occupational therapy.
Having engaged first-hand in child caregiving and worked as a therapist performing ABA
services for children, along with my RBT knowledge, I will flourish at LMU while studying my
passion. Pursuing a degree as a Lion will guarantee I will acquire relevant expertise that will
propel me to a successful career as a pediatric occupational therapist.
Question 2: 1. Share with us why you are interested in LMU and/or why you chose your
specific area of study or major.
Pre Question Notes:
LMU has lots of clubs that connect to the field of psychology as well as many clubs that interest
me.
I try my best to preserve our environment so the beach cleanups with the Surfruder Foundation
(Surfrider Foundation Club) is a club I would definitely take part in
I also appreciate that there is a Psychology Club which is an on-campus and largely student-run
organization, as well as Psi Chi which is the international psychology honor society
Something else I love is that students get to be apart of the Human Subject Pool, which allows
them to participate in research conducted through the Psychology Department and acquire direct
experience in social science research. (keep in mind I got this info straight from LMU website
and to rephrase it)
Some courses I would be intersted in taking at LMU is cognitive neuroscience, Psychology of
gender, and I am also super intersted in Psychology of Marriage.
Some other things I personally love about LMU is the classes! For me personally, I need more
personal attention when it comes to school therefore classes with a small number of students is
great for me and will help me learn to my best abaility!
I also love that the school is in playa vista which is super close to the beach!
Something else I love about LMU is their Diversity and inclusion. LMU is committed to creating
a diverse and inclusive community, and its student body represents a wide range of backgrounds
and experiences. This is something super important to me because I have always grown up in a
small bubble with the same types of people around me and I am wanting a change! I want to
meet others from different backgrounds while still living somewhat near my home!
Los Angeles has my heart, I was born and raised here which is why I value LMU so much and it
will become like home to me. Los Angeles is also a great place for internships, job opporutnities
and many cultural experiences.
