<p>Thanks alot for everything. And if there are any other schools that you would recommend as "match" ones, feel free to add them. THANKS
I mean I don't have as much extracurriculars as so many other people, but I hope that an insightful essay and good recommendations along with the fact that I really do pour a lot of hardwork into the extracurrics that I do might make a difference. Thanks</p>
