@sarahimg: Thank you. No, I have not submitted the application just yet. Even though I have everything good to go, my OCD and paranoia are getting the best of me and I keep giving it "another look". Will submit tomorrow for sure.
@md7: Great creds. Good luck!

Acknowledgment from UMN and UAMS - Little Rock.
First rejection from VCU-fairfax. Not sure why I applied there, they don't sponsor visas.
