Oh, awesome! The last one is especially helpful. I didn't know that the admissions officer would take that into account.

I hope you don't mind if I pepper you with more questions if I come up with them. You needn't feel obliged to bug your parents with them, but you don't know what a comfort it is to know someone who knows people who know about this stuff.

This stuff is really scary and driving me crazy!

Thanks so much, hon.
