UNC CCers,

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of last semester, and am planning to have my professional write to colleges. I’m also planning to apply RD, so I can send my first-semester grades.

Is there anything else I can do; do I really still have a chance? UNC is my first choice.

Instate, Public School (No AP/IB)
ACT: 30 (Retaking)
WGPA: 4.3
UWGPA: 3.3
Rank: ~10/60
Direct Descendant of Hinton James
Low Income; white

I’m concerned with two dual-enrollment courses and online AP classes, which is what brought my GPA way down:

[9th Grade: AP Art History, 94, 3 on Exam]
10th Grade: AP Calculus BC, 70, 1; AP Physics B, 65, 2
11th Grade: AP English Lit, 73, 4; AP U.S. History, 70, 3; Calculus II, C; Gen. Chemistry II, C

I did well in APAH because we had papers to write, but I was so overwhelmed with the huge workload in the other online APs, I just couldn’t get the work done.

As for Calculus II, I had an A in the class, then I freaked on the final. I just couldn’t focus to get the webassign stuff done in Chem, nor could I focus in the lab, and ended up 1 point from a B.

~Thanks for your responses! :)~
