Answer:

a. internal locus of control; external locus of control

Explanation:

Those are personality traits that are defined by the individual's beliefs according to the responsibility  about his own actions, in the first case "Internal locus of control"  supposes a high level of personal  independence and a mayor achievement abilities, and the second "External locus of control" is the opposite, in this order of ideas,  we would expect Hal not apply to that school because he knows that there are few possibilities to get in, may be for economical reasons or his personal preparation is not enough to the school standards,  and in the another side, his desires to get in can be the best motivation to apply without take into account his real possibilities according to his economic situation or his knowledge capacities.
