W: Hi, Jack.
M: Hi, Jean. I was just looking for you.
W: What's up?
M: Which semester should I apply for the schools?
W: (1)_________________________________.You can apply for the spring semester as well, but your chance of getting financial aids is lower.
M: For the fall semester, when should I send the application materials?
W: All the application materials should arrive at the schools before the end of February to make sure you get full attention. You'd better start early since it takes 10 days for letters to get there.
M: (2)_______________________________________________?
W: It takes a month for the score to get to schools, so you'd better take them before the end of this year if you apply for the fall of next year.
M: I'm going to apply for ten schools. It will cost me a fortune to send the scores to every school.
W: Tell me about it! (3)__________________________. Good luck!
M: I have my fingers crossed.
W: Right. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst.
