Three Important Questions to Consider

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

In the process of applying to a U.S. university, you’re going to be asked a number of questions – in essays, in interviews, and in the application – about your plans for the future.  The more time you spend seriously considering your goals and career plans, the better prepared you’ll be to answer these questions.

For that reason, I’m going to start a periodic series called “Three Questions.”  This will basically be an occasional post that asks – you guessed it – three questions designed to make you think about the world and your place in it.  By considering these questions in your free time, I hope you’ll be able to generate the kind of introspection that will help you on your essays, in your interviews, and throughout your application.

Each “question” will actually be a series of questions – one main question with a series of follow-ups.

Without further ado, here’s the first installment of “Three Questions:”

  1. What is the biggest problem in your society? What, if anything, can an individual like yourself do to change it?  Is changing it something in which you are interested?  Why or why not?
  2. What do you think is the proper balance between work and family life? In your culture, is it common for people to be more committed to their work or to their family?  Is it even possible to maintain a balance?
  3. In sports, is it more important to win or to follow the rules? Why?
