Successful Transfers: What did you write about?

I'm trying to transfer but I'm having trouble coming up with things to write about in essays--college admissions officers aren't looking for guys who are trying to break in to IB. So what did you guys write about in your essays? Did you still say your interest was in finance or something completely different?

I wrote about how my first school was too easy and I wanted to study under more prominent professors at the transfer school. If you have good grades to back that up it’s really useful. I also stated how I wanted to take business classes that weren’t available at the old school even though I was a humanities major.
