<p>Some of the schools I'm applying to ask "What is the highest degree you intend to earn?" Are they asking what's the highest degree I plan on earning from that school or just in general?
Also, does the answer to this have any effect on admission?
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I believe that they mean from any school. I don’t think that it has any direct effect on admissions, but it may serve as one component that admissions officers use in forming their sense of your academic aspirations.</p>
<p>Like just in general.</p>
