<p>OP-Congratulations you’re a good candidate and you should proudly apply to some dream schools. Work on a hook over the summer. What can you really do to set yourself apart, keeping in mind all the great competition that you’re up against. Also I don’t think you can be a commended student and a NMF.</p>
