I'm currently 2nd year and preparing to apply exchange program next year. The application program allow me to select up to 5 universities but I can only submit one study plan essay(including academic backgrounds, motivation and study plan). So, I am confuse whether should I mention my fav top university in the essay or just mention general information about my motivation in the essay without mentioning any university names? Max word is 5000. Thank you....
Selecting up to 5 universities - Opinions for my exchange study plan essay writing
You can have a general discussion of your academic history, motivation, and study plan that could be applicable to the university considerations. Those are the aspects where the reviewer has a general consideration of your skill, talents, and abilities. What you need to focus on are the 5 university choices. The university choices will prove to the reviewer that you understand the curriculum requirements of your chosen major, which tend to vary per university. However, by highlighting your desire to attend based with a comparable curriculum assessment against your student profile, you will be able to show that you have carefully assessed the study requirements, have the foundation to complete the course, and the ability to be a stand out exchange student. Go for the 5 university discussion. Do not omit discussing this because doing so will show a lack of actual interest on your part, showing a laziness that the reviewer will not appreciate in a student applicant. Just make sure that the universities you choose have a curriculum that coincides with your academic history so that your presentation will be comprehensive.
