<p>I put this at the beginning, but I'll just repeat it incase someone missed it, I do realize I'm not a competitive applicant by any means, I'm just hoping I'm decent enough to get into any of the schools I'm applying to. I'm also open to suggestions if you think a school is perfect for me but I have not listed it.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
