<p>Catria, to answer your first question, yes I can. The whole being homeless thing for eight months (in my opinion) always makes for a good essay topic, and I’ve always been good at writing in general.</p>

<p>As far as your second question goes, I’ve considered some in-state schools such as Rutgers New Brunswick, TCNJ, Seton Hall, etc. for safeties. Matches? I’m not sure what qualifies for a match with my current stats. Perhaps you could suggest some?</p>
