<p>So I started my St. John's Application online, and I pretty much finished. Today, I received an email from St. John's with an "Academic Achievement Application." </p>
<p>"Congratulations! You've been selected to apply online to St. John's University using the Academic Achievement Application ... because I think you're the type of visionary student who could find success here.</p>
<p>This nomination entitles you to apply with no application fee. Plus, you'll have your admission decision in just two weeks (after we have received your completed application) and you'll receive priority scholarship and housing consideration. And, Rabia, your essay and recommendation are optional (though I'd like to learn more about you in a brief personal statement)."</p>
<p>Now, should I just submit my original application? Or should I use this application? Will using this application almost guarantee my admission to this college?</p>
