<p>And I’m not actually Russian</p>

3

<p>but I’m gay so that’s some diversity</p>

<p>You didn’t add your SAT or ACT or your major. I think the fact that you’re from Florida adds more diversity than the gay part. You look pretty well rounded but at that level it’s tough to say for anyone. Best of luck and please don’t unleash your Russian or lack there of fury on me.</p>

<p>I just saw the part about you saying your stats weren’t that impressive. You really should apply, the only way to have zero chance is if you don’t apply at all.</p>
