I have been working for a long time on my essay and feel I can describe that my parents were divorcing and issues were causing my unusual lack of success in the classroom and try to get a recommendation from an alumni or better yet a booster. Please give an accurate chance say a percentage because this will be my 1 early decision school.</p>
<p>forgot to mention I worked a summer and fall at my moms work (UNC) during the elections as a pollster.
Also do lots of volunteering in Churches and am a assistant coach for a recreational basketball team.</p>
<p>recalculated my weighted gpa: actually its a 3.77, not much of a difference but still.</p>
<p>U Richmond ED: Reach</p>
<p>Is there a reason why NCSU/UNC-CH didn’t interest you?</p>
<p>I want to get away from the Triangle area but still being with range of it would be ideal. Also Richmond’s business school is fantastic and you think I have a better chance of getting into chapel hill? And my learning style fits the smaller schools instead of the big public schools.</p>
<p>also if don’t mind please explain why you said reach. And could you give me a percentage chance? Thank you!</p>
