Got recs from my Anatomy&Physiology and AB Calc teacher. Did extraordinarily well in both classes. Knew my A&P teacher since freshmen year.</p>

<p>Please chance me!</p>

<p>Match, great EC’s, GPA, SAT scores are over top 75% of admitted students, and SAT II scores solidify your knowledge in math and science.</p>

<p>UVA: Match</p>

<p>UMD wasn’t good enough for you? You could have been a honors student there if you applied at UMD EA.</p>

<p>I’m confused. If you already applied why do you need someone on CC to chance you? U-Va will tell you whether you got in or not. Good luck.</p>

I also did apply Priority for UMD. My dad wants me to get into integrated life sciences or gemstone honors college. But still, UVa is my #1 choice! I am still fine with going to UMD though.</p>

I think I just need some reassurance. This past week, while all my friends have been getting in/rejected from colleges and the more I read about UVa stats, my anxiety and stress levels have peaked. By the time I get to lay down in bed (3:30-4:30am) I usually still can’t sleep because I am worried about the UVa decision.</p>
