you please (check) that you (receive) it and if you haven't, please send me another application form. If, on the other hand, you (receive) my application but (not decide) whether to accept me as a student or not, I (be) very grateful if you (tell) me when I may expect to hear your decision. Finally, if my application (already / be) refused, I (like) to be informed as soon as possible because if I (not get) into your college, I (have) to apply to another and the sooner I (do) this, the better chance I (have) of being accepted.
