Going to UT Arlington for MS in CS spring 2020
I have an admit from UT Arlington but I just applied in one university in spring 2020. I applied in September and got an admit in October. But, I did apply for two universities for fall 2019. Applied to csu long beach and csu fullerton. Got rejected from both.
Can I say that I applied to 3 universities when I am asked "How many universities did you apply for"
If NO, then How should I frame answer for this question
" Why only this university"
Thanks !!
