GIVE ANSWERS - English

From the original French, the statement being translated is quite formal.

The translation also has to be formal in this context. The statement you have written would pass a grammar/spell checker but doesn’t quite sound like ”natural” English. Here are my reasons for why this is so...

”So, attending your university means to increase my chances of achieving my aspirations.” <-- possible but very rarely used like this and definitely not in the context of asking to be enrolled at a university.

"means" by itself is too direct and aggressive - simple present here states it as if it is a foregone conclusion. Better to use a modal like "would" + "mean". This presents it as a condition and is more polite, 

"to increase" - possible but extremely formal! You might see a judge at a court case using it like this. The gerund form "increasing" also fits better the general gerund structure of the sentence.

"So" - this is too negative for summing up the argument/case for being admitted to this university. "Therefore" is a better word choice here.

Therefore, this is a more natural sentence in the obvoius context:


”Therefore, attending your university would mean increasing my chances of achieving my aspirations.”
