- By the way, I noticed that when it comes to the Essay for American university applications, they don’t really ask about “what you want to achieve in the future” or your “aspirations”.
- They simply ask you to explain your current personality, interests, experiences, etc.
- I think this is a better approach than forcing yourself to come up with something you want to do in the future based on your current interests.
- I feel like this is what I’ve been sensing while looking at domestic university recommendations and comprehensive selection exams with my classmates.
- It’s not like domestic universities are asking for that kind of prompt.
- In the “statement of purpose” for domestic universities, everyone follows the logic of “I aspire to attend this university because I need YY to achieve my future goal of XX.”
- That’s why everyone feels compelled to define their future aspirations.
- I’m starting to feel that the guidance of “defining your aspirations” at school isn’t very good.
- Yeah, they used to emphasize it so much for scholarships, but they haven’t been talking about it recently. Although I was asked about it in an interview (kaya).
- On the other hand, I feel a little burdened by places that expect you to be someone during high school (rickshinmi).
- That’s true (blu3mo).
- I think this is something that applies to both overseas and domestic admissions (blu3mo).
