alatino Linotype";">Although I understand that some students prefer to focus all of their energy on the first-choice schools during their application programs, I think it is better to focus on several schools. I do have the following reasons to support my opinion. alatino Linotype";"> alatino Linotype";">We all know that it means more opportunities if you apply for several schools. Application does not assure admission. Moreover, the schools that many students desire to enter have many competitive admission criterions. Besides your achievement in the senior high school, like GPA, and high score of the admission test, like SAT, TOEFL, some schools also require the candidates have taken part in some special activities, for example, social activities, community service and even international experience. Moreover, the reference letters from your teacher and the staff of the community are needed. The admission offices of the school are doing everything to ensure that only excellent qualified applicators are accepted. Even the top students are not sure that they will receive the offers from their first-choice schools. Therefore, applications to two more schools do provide yourself more opportunities to be admitted by one of your favorite universities. alatino Linotype";"> alatino Linotype";">Additional, more researches of more schools are helpful when you select universities. Each school has its unique characteristics, for example, location, program setting, history, etc. After your researches and comparisons, you will find the second-, third-choice schools are also great. Furthermore, how do the schools evaluate the candidates, in another words, which qualities do the schools concern most will be discovered through comparisons. This is useful for you to prepare the application materials. alatino Linotype";"> alatino Linotype"; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Some students point that applications to more schools will cost more money because of the application fee. And they have to separate their limit energy on several schools. However, first I think applications to two more schools will not cause financial crisis. Second, we will face more complicated situations after we enter the universities. We will be required to handle diversity of work simultaneously. So why not learn from now? alatino Linotype"; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> |
