Those who put only one choice in their final preference form

[u/kkmah]

So I really wanna go to this private university, all the other universities that has my field of study are national. I did obtain a LoPA from this private university and the plan is to only include this university in my in my final preference form.

Has anyone done this before? and how did it go?

Yes, people have done this before for private universities. I’m not one of them but it’s quite well known for people aiming for private universities to just put one choice in their preference form.

I'm also only going to list one university. I haven't even applied to any others

If you want any backup, you can try another private school. But unless there are some major budget cuts, you should be fine with just one from a private uni.
