why do you want to attend?


Question Posted Thursday December 6 2007, 7:19 pm

I'm applying to a private high school this year for the 08-09 school year, and when I read the application form, I found this question: Please tell us why you want to attend Bishop ______ High School. I don't understand. I want to go because it's not as expensive as other private schools I checked out, and is way better than our 2-star public high school, but I assume that that is not quite appropriate to enter on the form. Any help please?

you feel that you can get a better education
better atmosphere
better curriculum
you feel that you have a lot to offer the school
you want to be involved in the school activities
you are goal-oriented and believe that the school can help you achieve your goals
et cetera, et cetera. don't be afraid write down stuff that's not true, as long as it sounds good :)

YOu need to talk about positive things such as:
1. I want to get the job i deserve.
2. To have a good education.
3. To meet new people and make friends.
4. To try out a different atmosphere and surroundings than the one i'm used to.

You may want to talk about:

-Their good academic records
-Any awards that they may have gotten (How you admire them)
-Even if you haven't, you can say that you've heard of the excellent individual attention teachers give to students, and how you would love to take advantage of a great opportunity to improve or expand academically.
-If you'd like to play a sport, say that you would like to be a part of the "inspirational athletic organization" where you feel you could "gain not only muscle, but a sense of team work". (Cheesey I know)
-The interesting, stimulating, different, classes able to be taken strike you as a great way to have fun and stay positive about school.


Hope I helped. :]
