20+ years ago, I was a PNM. Coming into recruitment, I had tons of activities, including National Honor Society, band, chorus, student government, and drama awards. I had spent the summer before entering college studying language and culture in the Soviet Union. I showed horses on a national level, including having gone to a couple of national finals for my sport. I was a legacy. I also had a 2.99 GPA overall thanks to one bad semester my sophomore year (I was gone showing horses a lot that year). I would have been in what we now call the "yellow zone".

I was dropped from recruitment completely after the 2nd round.

I am happy you have the confidence in yourself. But, speaking from the perspective of someone who was in a similar situation, I seriously wish there had been a Greekchat to tell me to wait a year, get comfortable in school and get those grades up to stellar, where I knew they could be.

Yes, it did work out for me in the end, but it was not a route of would have chosen to take, looking back with the experience and wisdom I have now.
