Rush is hard, physically and emotionally, and depending on where you go, being a junior can cause you to experience cuts that would hurt the feelings of even the strongest girls.
Can you do it? Who knows? Can you take on your load plus an extra 10-20 hours a week of additional commitments? If you know for sure the answer is no, then I would seriously consider what you're in for.
And as an aside, it would be good to learn that your choice of words counts. The way you described yourself to complete strangers was at minimum unfortunate. "I would consider myself an ordinary student who works very hard to maintain good grades" might be a bit closer to an accurate statement than "I'm not very smart."

Just because i have good grades doesn't necessarily make me smart, it just means i work hard like i mentioned earlier. I am also not worried about rush or being a junior. I've talked to many people and that isn't an issue where i go to school. I do not have problems with my self esteem its just that i know realistically i am not a genius and my memory isnt like photogenic and antaomy is a lot of memorization i hear. I didn't say i can't do it for sure i just don't know. I am going to take a class in CSD to see how i like it. I just wanted to make sure i can have a good balance with my social life, having an on campus job, and school work
