<p>So, I think you forgot to change Wake Forest to Davidson when you posted it here ;). Besides that, I think the glaring flaw in your application is your GPA. What rank are you? Everything else looks great, but your GPA seems low.</p>

<p>Haha that’s right that was my mistake, I guess better to make that mistake here than on my application though. Yes my GPA is relatively low but my school doesn’t report class rank.</p>
