Hi,
I am currently writing a LOCI. And, I need a grammar help on one sentence.
"I would certainly attend XYZ Law, which is my number one choice, if were I granted admission."
"I would certainly attend XYZ Law, which is my number one choice, if I were granted admission."
"I will certainly attend XYZ Law, which is my number one choice, if XYZ Law grants admission."
Which sentence is grammartically correct? If none of them are right, please tell me how would you write this sentence.
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you,

If admitted, I will certainly attend xyz; it is my number one choice
Of course, i think this makes you sound kind of weak and vulnerable. I would say, "You should admit my ass because I am the motherfucking best."
If you disagree though, perhaps up the ante and say, "I would do anything to attend your prestigious institution. I beg of you to admit me. I would forever be in your gratitude."

Though it frightens me, I agree with laxbrah. Also was option #1, where you used the phrase "were I" a legit consideration?
