Really appreciate the feedback and anecdotes. 3Q is definitely the goal with LOA as a bonus, and not the other way around.
I think DD is doing everything she is supposed to do but this process is very competitive. Everyone's info and encouragement certainly help this journey as this is our first rodeo.
By the way, she used the link below to estimate her WCS percentile and got 85-90%. Does anyone think this is an accurate calculator? Is this a good tool for others who post "chance me" in the forum? Is WCS at that range good enough?!
(And for full transparency - she does not use this service or any other paid service.)
