While I'm sorry about your grandmother, you'll find that a lot of PNMs have a similar story, whether it's their own illness, a loss of a loved one, or other circumstances. Plenty of PNMs even have to miss a day of recruitment because of these things. However, your grades are what they are and if a chapter has a 3.0 cutoff, you will be cut regardless of a recommendation letter, unless the writer has a strong connection to the chapter. A 2.9 really isn't that bad though and won't get you cut from most chapters unless you don't fit in with the chapter anyways. I think what other posters were trying to say is that: 1) Recommendation letters are mostly meaningless at OSU 2) Hiring a coach to help you with questions makes you seem fake and you could end up in a chapter that doesn't fit your personality because of it(but more likely the coaching won't help at all because recruitment starts so soon) 3) The fact that you already seem to have written off chapters as beneath you is a huge red flag. And if you need a coach to help you sneak into selective chapters, you'll be miserable once you realize you don't fit into those chapters. If you did fit in, your grades and coaching wouldn't have mattered. Honestly, I think you'd be a good fit in KKG as a colonizing member if you don't make into your legacy house or the houses you think are "good." A 2.9 wouldn't rule you out at all and they need girls with money.
