Parents working for University System.

Both of my parents work for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. My father is a Vice Chancellor and my mother is a Director. I was wondering if this would help my chances of getting into UTK. My gpa is crap, at a 2.9, but my ACT is good , at a 31.

Why don’t you ask your parents?

I’m currently at Fork Union Military Academy, and I don’t really have access to them right now. I also wanted to hear some outside opinions before I approached them about it.

You need to ask your parents what the policy is at the university where they work. They will be able find out for you .

We would just be guessing. Ask your parents.

I don’t think that your parents’ employment in the UT system will help with your admission chances at UT-K; but if you are admitted, then you should probably qualify for the 50% tuition discount.
