<p>Well you definitely didn’t help your chances.</p>
<p>What could have possibly caused you to miss 60 days in your second semester?</p>
<p>I understand family problems, but missing 60 days in a 90 day semester (or at least that’s the length of the semester around here) probably nearly unexplainable.</p>
<p>I suppose what you could do is have an amazing first semester senior year, and then you would have a bulletproof essay topic about conquering family issues and things along that vein.</p>
