<p>Don't see anything wrong here. Write a good essay and you stand to have a good chance.</p>

<p>yeah I think you have a great chance...since you're a good writer your essays should be decent...you will get in, I think. even though you don't really stand out in any way...you're still pretty good (play several instruments, writing achievements)</p>
