fiancé ?

Question

I am a female and and my fiancé has been selected to a graduate study program in USA. I have also applied to the same program in the same university and I have been asked to a Skype interview by the committee of the university. I have a question. If I say as follows, is it okay? is it a polite way to mention about my fiancé (is it okay to use this word fiancé ) ?

"Dear Sir, My fiance has already been selected to this program, So I also like to come to this university" If this is not a polite way, could you please tell me a polite way to mention this?

Hello, Sanka80—and welcome to English Forums. Thank you for registering as a member.

Dear Sir,

My fiancé has already been selected for this program, so I also like to attend this university.

Sanka80s it okay? is it a polite way to mention about my fiancé

Your sentence is fine as I have corrected it, and the word fiancé is perfectly respectable.

HOWEVER—using that as a reason for your application is extremely weak and a bit ridiculous. Universities do not assess applications on the basis of personal relationships; in fact, they may consider your use of that reason as detrimental to your application.
