5.If you apply for Early Decision and are accepted， will you be able to attend if you are not offered any financial aid？ If the answer is "no" then you probably should reconsider applying through ED， because you will need to withdraw （撤回）your other applications if you are accepted．

A．Look at the social fit， too．

B．Also look at your finances．

C．Turn to your teachers for advice， too．

D．Do you think you're competitive academically？

    November 11th， also known as the "bare sticks holiday"， and a day originally meant for young people to celebrate being single，has become the world's largest 24-hour online shopping carnival． Forum （论坛） readers share their opinions．

Blonde Amber （Ireland）

There is nothing to be proud of to be in a country that spends so much online on a particular day． It does nothing more than show the superficiality （肤浅）of the temporary pleasure of shopping，and produces nothing more than a mountain of environmental waste． I bet there is plenty of "buyers' remorse" after this day．

Vivian （US）

Since it is Singles' Day， I guess only the single population of China should buy something to relieve social pressure． The married might be excluded （排除）from the festival．

Alex （US）

Singles' Day was initiated （创始）by a group of college students to celebrate being single， or not having a girlfriend or boyfriend． They think poor guys should buy something on the day to entertain themselves． But Jack Ma got hold of the opportunity， hit the jackpot and successfully made it a yearly shopping spree （狂欢）．

George （Canada）

I work in Shanghai． Many of my young female colleagues are still single． They simply haven't time to date， as they tend to work long hours and travel two hours by subway to get to and from work． Singles' Day is a day when they spoil themselves with online shopping．

Patrick （Australia）

I don't care if it is Singles' Day or a shopping spree． It sounds fair enough to me． Just a click and I can get the best deals I have ever seen delivered to my door， and save money and time．
