Melody and mz_purfect - I empathise with the situation you are put in right now, and if I could offer my EAS place to one or both of you I would sincerely do that. I've decided that I don't need EAS to get into my course of choice after all - despite all my disadvantages I've managed to top a whole bunch of perfectly healthy, normal individuals and that's all the satisfaction I need - I can conquer despite adversity. I hope that you both can share in this same frame of mind as myself - you both have UAIs worth envying after and if you think of the masses of people who you topped despite what you both faced.
