YAY!!!! A California girl story!

There was a great article in the paper about your school just a week or so- it is really growing! Ummm, 14,000 applicants for 3000 new student spots. I predict that Sugar and Spice will have company soon!

I just met a freshmen at a bachelorette party the other night who is headed off to the same school from Orange County. She didn't mention if she was thinking about rushing but she is so excited to start school!

Can't hurt to get your friends to write you a recommendation, especially if they can add some info about you that expands on the basic stuff that will be on the rush application. You won't seem over eager.

Your school has deferred rush for new freshmen only right? I'm guessing that there will be a Pref ceremony of some type...the whole thing just won't be as structured as some of the stuff you may have read here.

good luck Miss Kay!
