i'm in the same boat... getting the application in just in time to meet the deadline... and tho i'm trying to keep a positive attitude about things, it's still kinda... stressful... the waiting. (altho, i guess i should get used to it) i've read many of the postings on this site and heard such differing experiences from various ppl that NOW i don't kno what to believe. =\ i guess nobody knows anything for certain, but it helps to hear all the different possibilities...
