Hello everyone,

I was just wondering for those of you who are applying to Colorado, one of their questions on the supplemental portion asks what your first choice school is. I was thinking this is a strange, and somewhat a lose-lose question for them to ask. Do I put my honest 1st choice school as my answer which would be UofI (my state school), or do I put their school as my first choice so that they don't think I don't really really want to be one of their students? How would they know if anyone is being honest with this question?

On another note, do we personally have to mail in our GRE scores? I was under the impression that immediately after we complete the exam and report where to send the scores, those schools will recieve them.

I really don't remember that question on the supplemental. Do you have the exact wording?

The question was a part of the personal info section:

In order to provide feedback to sending institutions and PreVet advisers, please indicate which university you consider to be your ‘primary’ sending university.

Then it asks you to select an institution from a drop down list so you can type in their code

They want you to list your main undergrad institution there.

Oh.....thanks for clearing that up for me.

In that case, I actually got my ba from a different school from where I completed all my science pre-reqs....
Do you think it would make more sense to list the school where I got my pre-reqs done, or from the school where I actually have a ba from?

Sorry it seems like a silly question, but just wanna get a second opinion...

It's the one where you got your BA. Hope that helps!

 

[Mellobunnie]

Yes it does help very much~ Thank you!

no - you do not have to mail your scores personally - in fact, the only accept the ones reported directly from ets. it is a good idea to email to make sure they have received them, though.
