<p>Would appreciate any opinions or comments! Thanks :)</p>

<p>Your in. 4.0 with a 33 your should be in EA but at worst deferred then accepted RD.</p>

<p>Btw, your from my old home town where I was born and went to grade and middle school. Cool.</p>

<p>I sure hope so! Mainly worried about the financial burden. That’s ironic that you’re from the Walton area too!</p>

<p>^ It’s not ironic, but it is coincidental. Sorry, that’s just a little pet peeve of mine.</p>
