DOUBLE LEGACY
I think the lack of essay a la the Common App and the lack of ability to submit multiple letters of rec was a huge detriment. We thought the Coalition app was awful. His low GPA and academy participation needs explaining and his essay related to his career goal was awesome. The short personal statement was not nearly enough.
Oh well. He wants to go to George Mason, where he has been accepted to the computer science major, so it’s all good. He also got into Radford, ODU, and Christopher Newport. We are only still waiting on VCU, which needs to get its act together considering he submitted the app on 10/30. (Note: all of these are common app schools!)
