<p>Ditto above. I know you don't want to hear this right now, but it doesn't matter. Just give it a good long wait. Get some ice cream, that always helps. </p>

<p>...ok that aside, I just glanced over your stats and you're quite a qualified candidate. You should have few problems. Good luck.</p>

<p>Hi Sandy,
Do you apply as a US citizen, since you have dual citizenship? You look really good on paper. I don't give chances, but I'm responding because I'm a mom of an EA and I know how stressed you are right now. You have just as good a chance as any other applicant, and probably better than many. How's that for ambiguity? Just trying to send some kind words your way during one of the most stressful days of your life.<br>
I'll be looking for your result tomorow.</p>

<p>thanks a lot guys, that makes it a lot easier for me to get back to my term paper :O</p>

<p>For riverruner's question, yes, I'm applying as a US Citizen. I lived in 5 different countries within the first year of my life, so even though I was born in the US, I lived in numerous places and managed to gain citizenship in South Africa.</p>

<p>Why post stats now? It is done. Relax. Join the rest of the folks with stats like yours, take a break and check tomorrow.</p>

<p>Your stats look great. I was going to tell you to relax, but that would make me a hypocrite, lol.</p>

<p>Less than twenty hours until we'll know. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Right now I'm thinking I should have spent some more extracirricular time on "praying profusely".</p>
