Actually I am speaking for me. I read this thread because I find the OP's question interesting and a valid concern in that every pnm wonders whether they will be accepted. Whether they are concerned with weight, recs, oos, or hair color 17 year old kids want to know , "will I be ok?"
I am not suggesting that there is one answer. But the OP wants information on recruitment and not a clinic on writing technique.

You're absolutely correct.
However, if Titchou, who is well placed to give advice about Alabama, hadn't made a gross assumption about the OP's grades by nastily pointing out her use of "wanna" while at the same time Titchou was making her own poor writing choices in her posts, then grammar would never have been brought up.
I honestly wish we were at a point in time where an African American who was interested in pursuing NPC membership at any school was no longer noteworthy, and that there would be no mention of it at all other than to give her the same congratulations as would be offered to any woman on joining a sorority.
