Take the essays seriously and touch base again with your teachers providing letters. Direct them to the SHC site so they know the selection criteria when preparing the letter. It would help if you could get them to consider amending their letters specifically for SHC</p>

<p>are we going to receive our decisions by snail mail?</p>
