<p>JSPARK:</p>
<p>UCLA: Slight Reach (out of state)</p>
<p>JSPARK: WOW. Giving sermons at HOW old? That’s really cool. Do you happen to know your rank (if your school ranks), because that would help to put your GPA (which IMO is your weak point) in perspective.</p>
<p>JSTOR: WOW. Giving research papers at HOW old? That’s really cool. Do you happen to know your rank (if your university ranks), because that would help to put your tenure position (which IMO is your weak point) in perspective.</p>
<p>That’s weird. I thought that rankings doesn’t matter.</p>
