There is this school that I really like, and its a close #2 on my list. However, I’m still addicted to my #1 (i went ED and got deferred). My parents keep forcing me to say at the end of my essay to #2 “…it is my top choice.” Not “one of my top choices” or “a top choice” but “my top choice” because they think it will show that I really want to go there. However, I can’t remain honest to myself and say its my top choice when that honor belongs to another school, even though I really love #2 as well. What can I say instead at the end of my essay that will convey that I really want to go there without explicitly saying that its the one school I want to go to more than any other?
<p>One of my top choices?</p>
<p>email and call them!
let em know you are interested!</p>
<p>tell them that if they accept you that you will almost definately attend...</p>
<p>most of the people i know get rejected by their top choice... most more commonly attend 2nd/3rd choices... so yes, this wouldnt be a lie...</p>
<p>but really i dont think youd go to hell for telling them they were your top choice =/</p>
<p>You could say it's your "clear goal" to attend that college, I guess.</p>
