<p>Decent essays? Why not GREAT essays? The essays can be the clinching arguement for an acceptance or a rejection. I hope you are being modest when you say "decent." </p>

<p>Otherwise, good chances (nothing's a sure thing, obviously, but you can be confident about your application--except for that "decent" which worries me).</p>

<p>well i say decent when I compare them to some of the essays in those books (you know, one of those books titled "50 accepted essays"). The essays are good but I don't know whether they are shockingly good. I'm not that great of a writer (english is one of my lower subjects).</p>

<p>hahaha, well, if they're decent compared to the perfect essays, you're probably fine. Don't sweat it, k?</p>
