<p>woah-- you've got a hearing loss too. ha, weird. Yeah i used to wear 2 hearing aids but my right ear went out so now I only wear one. I guess my essay might not be too unique after all... Your gpa is solid, you SAT's are ok, but shouldn't you have the November scores by now? The research is very impressive and should help. I'd say you have solid chances, especially if you SAT's go up.</p>

<p>dang that's rare! So how was your essay unique? I want the adcoms to know bout my loss, but I didn't want too much sympathy. Any suggestions? By the way, I already applied to Washington in St. Louis, so I just need help for other college's essays. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
