Wow... you have a wonderful resume.  I bet you will be accepted by most schools, if not all of them.  Best of luck!

 Aw, shucks. Honestly not why I posted my profile, but it is nice to hear. I'm very jealous of your languages, though! BTW, will PM you re: Brazilian art.

Both of you have strong profiles - and your schools lists overlap too!
