Hey guys, I know everyone is probably sick of these by now–I am also aware that random people chancing me online means nothing–and “only admissions can be tell you for sure…” yada yada but I probably won’t hear from admissions until literally Christmas Eve, so I just need someone to give me a reality check so I don’t get my hopes up too high and end up ruining my perception of Christmas forever. I am applying to LSA–for Screen Arts and Cultures

I thought my essays were pretty strong and painted a good picture of who I was, what I wanted to do in life and why attending Michigan could assist me in my journey. I haven’t read any of my recommendations yet, but I hope they were strong. Ok, I probably left some stuff out, and probably have a couple of grammatical errors in there somewhere but it is almost midnight, so I should get a pass. Hope I didn’t piss anyone off with my annoying question. Thanks for taking the time to read this Be honest, but I implore you to be kind about it.
Happy holidays!!
