<p>What to know:
-I applied on August 5th, hoping to maybe hear on the earlier side
-This is my number 1 college
-I'm fairly confident with my essays and believe they're strong
-Letters of Rec. should be strong</p>

<p>Oh haha ok. You look like a pretty stellar candidate and don’t have much to worry about. GPA is just a little low but everything else can balance that out. Good luck!</p>
