Chance me?

<p>Hi! I'm interested in the University of Richmond! I have a 28 on my ACT but will take it two more times and I'm studying really hard. I've taken two APs but I only passed one and in my senior year I'll be taking 5! I went to the PAVE pre college program at Vanderbilt this summer and will get a rec letter from the Dean of PAVE. I played softball all three years of high school and have over 300 hours of volunteer work! Let me know if I have a chance! Thanks!</p>

<p>zg - I’m not sure if this is a real post or not. I will err on the side of believing you…</p>

<p>“will take it two more times” - odd statement. Why not one more time and see what happens. Your 28 is on the low side of students admitted to UR.</p>

<p>You have taken two AP classes and failed one of them? And you’re going to take five your senior year? You may be over your head. I don’t know why your school would even let you take 5 AP classes. Taking and “passing” AP classes won’t move your application up the list at many schools. </p>

<p>300 hours of volunteer work? Doing what? UR would like to see that you are passionate about some extra curricular activity. “300 hours of volunteer work” won’t raise any eyebrows.</p>

<p>What is your GPA? Class rank? </p>

<p>Based on what little information you have posted, UR is a reach.</p>
