No need for me to study any more then if it's that simple! haha

we might as well post our ERAS application and Dean's letter to answer all your questions

Alright, now don't tear him/her up too badly. If I had the balls to ask for that information from the
class before ours I would have because it would have helped me target my applications a little
more. However, to the O.P., you have to understand that you're asking a bit much here. Perhaps
a better approach would have been:

"Where did you match and (if you would be so kind) share whatever you can about your stats
(board scores, rank, etc.)"

Though even that might not get the warmest reception. At this point since none of us know where
we matched yet, we're all still on pins and needles a bit. Cut us a little slack.
