Thank you very much for your prompt replies! 
I have been quite busy with the applications process that I forgot to respond to your answers.</p>
<p>I emailed the admissions about my situation and like you said, they will factor all those things into account during the review (phew). I feel horrible about using my relatives’ deaths for applying, but I guess it’s better than having them not get the full picture. Also, my hs guidance counselor sent in my transcripts and I just finished my essays. If you’d like to critique my essay, please pm me Now I just have to finish the bike and the other home test whoo!</p>
