When choosing schools, what do we truly look for? Many students look more into the social atmosphere than analyzing actual benefits the school may provide to them as whole. Most schools, when deciding which students to pick they look at their left brain aptitudes or abilities, such as grades, SAT scores and other tests. On the other hand, R-directed people are more intune with the non-logic approach in a sense.

In elementary, I will admit most of my training as a child was very L-directed. They would always tell us to keep your grades up and score high on test and you will be successful. As many future students apply for schools now, schools are starting to look more at your community skills or other R-directed skills. In all honesty, as much as hated the rigurous education when i first entered Mercer, I can say now that it pays off for the best. Mercer is relatively easy to get in but its hard to stay. Most other schools professors tend to pacify you with information, but with Mercer professors you have to anaylze the depth of the information to truly understand the material.
