Thank you 7Sage. I just received an acceptance email from my UNM. It was my #1 choice all along, since I live in New Mexico and intend on a career in environmental law and policy - and that schools has the a good clinical and natural resources elective. Anyhoo - yes, I did work my ass off and yes there was much blood, sweat and tears - but really JY Ping saved me sorry behind and for that, I thank you.

PS. On friday, I got priority wait listed by CU Boulder. But that's another story.
