What kind of super shiny, glittery qualifications are going to make you stand head & shoulders above your younger competition that already have their references in place? References that have been studied for months by women already in the sororities at Ole Miss?

- Do you have a STELLAR (3.75+) GPA from a well respected university?

- Did you start some kind of charitable drive to feed kids in underprivileged countries or lead a rebuilding efforts in Haiti or collect donations for war veterans?

- Were you president of your former university's student association or service organization?

Tell us what makes you the super special snowflake junior that they will want to take a chance on?
I am transferring from a school in DC with a 4.0 and I did volunteer work Monday through Friday at the veteran hospitals there. I am transferring because my fiancée got moved to a base in the south and I fell in love with ole miss when I visited. I realized my situation wasn't the best from the start that's why I was asking for people's options by no means did I think I had the best chance or was entitled to a bid, sorry if I came off that way.
