Have you checked for R availability? Just because BF is empty doesn't mean you will clear immediately of course. If R is available, you could up-fare, apply a GPU, and clear immediately. If R is not available, you'll be hanging out on the waitlist where anything can happen. Also, as Kacee said, you want orange. Good luck!

Someone is going to say it right? I mean, at least one other person was thinking it...that this was a bonehead mistake? I'll show myself out.
