<p>Mr. Man: Chedva wrote “How much that matters will vary from school to school.” This is very true. Some schools with EA (Stanford, Yale) don’t put much if any weight in your “expressed interest” given the strength of their applicant pool. They anticipate the no. of accepts who eventually matriculate so it’s not a big deal for them. Schools further from this stratospherically selective group will value 1st choice designation more favorably in terms of accepting you.</p>
<p>Mr. Qayyam: You should repost your request in the College Search forum with the title: “Looking for information on Swedish Colleges” and not as a reply to someone else’s thread. No one who can help you will ever see it.</p>
