[quote=Anonymous]Hello, I am a SOVA student that was recently admitted to UVA and UNC. However, I was deferred to my top choice, UChicago, and my RD applications came out miserably due to issues at home during the time I filled in the apps (parents getting a divorce with low key abusive father). My mom and I are planning to leave the house and go somewhere else. Now that brings me to the question, should I take a gap year and reapply while sorting the mess at home out or should I just go to UVA? Honestly, IDK how I would make use of the gap year and I'm not sure I would get the best recs from my high school folks either (I stirred up some trouble this senior year with my attitude... which was in my defense, affected by the events at home. They now understand, but a tarnished reputation is not easily recoverable). The only thing I have to my advantage are ECs, test scores (1500+ SAT and several 750+ in subject tests) and class rank (#1 in school). [/quote]
