<p>Yes, you're a competitive client, you should give it a shot.</p>

<p>Always give it a shot!</p>

<p>Really. I once found myself doubting my decision to apply EA, but now I'm extremely glad that I did -- I'll never have to wonder "what if" (in that regard, at least).</p>

<p>c'mon-- do you really, genuinely think you aren't at least qualified enough to give it a shot? or is this just thinly-veiled compliment fishing? seriously. these topics are sort of absurd.</p>

<p>haha! Gotta watch out about straining the elbow patting yerself on the back too hard!</p>

<p>EVERYBODY superscores. and why not give it a chance? you have three choices: get in, get rejected or don't try. if you don't try, you'll never get in. it may sound like i'm stating the obvious, but sometimes that needs to be done.</p>
