Showing that you really love the school

<p>It really helps if you show the school that you really love it in your essays, right? It won't go against us, right? </p>

<p>Also, when they ask us where else we're planning to apply, does being honest about the other unis go against us? I need advice about this. Thanks</p>

<p>How can loving a school work against you?! Show them how absolutely passionate you are about their school!</p>

<p>Also, if that question on where else you are applying is optional, then don’t answer it. Otherwise, list a few peer schools - I recommend you don’t send them your entire college list incase they get offended that they are your safety school. However, don’t lie and say you are applying to schools that you are not applying to - because if you apply for financial aid, they can see all the other schools your applied to.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your advice. </p>

<p>Hmm, what if I’m applying to that school ED and i don’t need financial aid? Do i still tell them? I dont think the other schools are better…</p>

<p>List a few peer schools - just a few to show them that they really are your top choice.</p>
