<p>Since EA is really competitive than it is understandable how worried you are. But don’t get too nervous. To me, you take a great amount of challenging courses. I feel like you have a good chance in RD however don’t get your hopes up too high, JMU is really unpredictable. As long as you are doing well this year they would fight for you. I want to go to JMU as well! Think positive! 
I’m trying to lol. Can you chance me back as well? Please!</p>
