Yes, focusing on one or two destinations is usually better when applying for your master's.

This lets you tailor each application to the specific programs and universities, showing a clear understanding of their requirements and culture. Admissions committees value well-researched, personalized applications over generic ones sent to many places.

By concentrating your efforts, you can invest more time in researching, preparing documents, and writing strong statements - improving your chances of acceptance. If you need help narrowing down your options or preparing focused applications, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
