Impressive stats @Brijul Im sure you’ll get in!
Thank you! I’m sure there are more applicants that are far more impressive than I am. My downfalls are that in my local community college, I had to withdraw from two classes due to my pregnancy. The appointment times conflicted with my classes. I wished I put that in my application, but I failed to do so. Ouch! Also, I am a terrible test taker when it comes to timed tests. Yikes! I fear that the two reasons might be my downfall, but maybe I am being too pessimistic.
