THANKS!!

Generally, I would say round 3 is a challenge. It will be for you as well, but you do have a solid bio so there is still a chance. People do get in third round and they usually are solid candidates that for whatever reason had to wait to get the application into the adcom office. Make sure you think of a viable reason if it comes up in an interview...
