I can’t chance people, but you sound like a wonderful candidate! Have you reached out to the track and swimming coaches? It can’t hurt, and might help.

If not ORM, I would say you will definitely have options in M10. A strong and well qualified candidate!

You appear to be a strong candidate for admission who has assembled a great list of schools.

With respect to your comment that you “talked a lot during interviews”, I encourage you to develop & use good listening skills as well. Very important to listen before responding to a question, then to stop talking as soon as the interviewer speaks again.

I think that you will do well !
