30 year old transfer. Chances? Worried...

Anyone that can add some thoughts of any kind on my situation would be nice.

I'm kinda flipping out

high school-crap

community college right out of high school in Florida (where I'm from) for 2 semesters -equally crappy

community college in NC in 1999 and 2000 for 3 semesters-continuing the string of crap

same community college in NC revisited in summer 2006-fall 2007 for 3 semesters (retaking any grade I previously made at the NC CC below a B) -straight As

got my Associates degree from NC community college with 3.703 gpa (that's including retakes, what my transcript from the CC says)

I know for sure one of my professors sent an awesome letter of rec, 2 more may.

I'm 30 years old and have been married for 1 year this Saturday.

I feel I wrote a very strong essay and have had my CC literature teacher confirm this.

I sent my transcripts and application about 2 weeks ago. How long before my UNC homepage reflects they even got the stuff?

I know they said they would let my know by April 21, but will they decide sooner or do they tell all the applicants the same time around then?

Do I have a good chance? My wife and I are riding on this acceptance, so I would be bummed if I was rejected. I've been working as hard as I can for almost 2 years to get into UNC and said so in my essay.

I've already been accepted to one of my safety schools (UNCG) so I guess all isn't lost. Right?
