allengood- After reading so much on CC after applying, I’m not feeling too confident anymore. I’m applying from a 4-year, so I really had no guidance on putting together an “appealing” application. Of course, this is no excuse. Had I done my homework on apps earlier, perhaps I could have put something together that sparkled a little bit more. But now I know, and feel supremely more confident if I have to make a second go-around at this.

Coming from a military background, I felt like listing all my military schools would have been too showy. I just listed one or two big things I did in Afghanistan, but hopefully they were unique enough to sway their decision in my favor.

Can’t wait for us all to hear tomorrow. Good luck.

PS- Do W’s on a transcript hurt you that much? What would be some mitigating factors? I have 3 total for 3 semesters, but other than those my grades are all A’s or A-'s.
