[Grammar] weakens / get

[oksuz_]

Hi,

Could you tell me if these sentences are correct. (or which one / no one)

- It obviously weakens to get an acceptance from the University.

- It obviously weakens getting an acceptance from the University.


Thank you in advance.

Neither one makes sense as a standalone sentence. What is the context?

 

[oksuz_]

There is a problematic situation and it makes studying at a university less probable. I do not know Whether my first sentences are grammatically correct or not. Could you give me some clues about how I make them correct.

Thank you..

Do you mean the situation reduces the chance of being admitted into a university?

 

[oksuz_]

Yes, this is what I meant.

What is "it" and "problematic situation"?
"Weakens to get/getting" is wrong. Something spoils/reduces/blows one's chance of getting something.

It obviously reduces one's chance of gaining admission to the university.
