<p>I will copy below the exact "chance me" tread i posted almost a year ago, and will annotate at the bottom the actual results. I hope this is a help to all those beginning the waiting game now. </p>
<p>I will leave for school in 4 days and looking back to this time last year, cannot believe I am about to go, so cherish the last year. This will most likely be my last post, I would like to thank everyone for all your help throughout my process last year and wish you all the best of luck. </p>
