What specific plan do you have, if any, for using the education you hope to receive?

It’s under the subheading “Students Applying from Outside the US and Canada”, but can Americans/Canadians answer this question if they wish?

Did others Americans/Canadians fill this in or leave it blank?

A US/Canadian resident could answer the question, but that’s NOT following the directions, is it? That’s doing what you want to do and ignoring the instructions. Think about it. Do you want an AO snickering “Oh look, here’s a kid who can’t follow directions” when they read your application? If you are a US/Canadian resident, leave it blank.
