I believe that numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6 are all appropriate. Of those, numbers 3 and 5 are the best. " There is a timing distinction between some of your options, which makes me uncertain of the exact meaning.

  • I believe that numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6 are all appropriate.
  • Of those, numbers 3 and 5 are the best.
  • " There is a timing distinction between some of your options, which makes me uncertain of the exact meaning.
  • For example, if Simon has been admitted to XYZ College but has not yet started the Computer Science Program, you would want to use something like #6.
  • However, if Simon was previously admitted and has already finished the program, you would want to use something like #5.
