nitnip18134yDo people actually look at motivation letters? All that mattered when I went to college was how I scored at the entrance exams.
I was led to believe nothing short of a perfect score would be accepted, got a nice score (not perfect), was admitted and then shown the entrance bar was much... MUCH lower. -

... Don't actually copy this.
