Mount Allison transfer letter of intent
Mount Allison asks applicants who completed coursework at a college or university after high school to submit a letter of intent alongside their school and postsecondary transcripts. The letter addresses academic or professional goals and any academic discrepancies that need explanation.
Writing format
Required letter of intent on academic and professional goals
What to prepare
- 1Explain the goal behind transferring and why Mount Allison is a useful next step in that plan.
- 2Use one or two specific academic or work experiences to show how your direction developed since high school.
- 3If your record has a discrepancy, give its relevant context and what has changed; do not invent an explanation when none is needed.
How to approach the writing
- Treat this as a transfer-category document, not the optional 500-word response in the general application.
- Let transcripts show coursework and grades; use the letter to explain direction and context.
Before you submit
Mount Allison does not publish a word limit for the transfer letter on this page. Confirm the current upload instructions and deadline in your application account. Its mature-applicant category has different eligibility and asks for a résumé as well.
