If this is something you really want - then go for it.

As others have said, it's important to know your opportunities will be limited; that said, I've known girls at competitive schools receive bids as upperclassman. They were realistic, stayed upbeat, prepared (recs, etc.), open to every house, didn't listen to "tent talk" where houses get put down, and they stuck with it if they had only a few houses left as rush went on. They knew how to have good conversations and dressed neatly. When you have a big challenge, every little bit counts even more.

Going for something you desire while being realistic is a terrific predictor of how to navigate life because I promise you, this won't be the first thing you're interested in that might present great challenges to achieve.

And if by some chance it doesn't work out, then you will have experienced new things and learned more about yourself than if you had not pursued it. I hope you rush and come back and update here. I'm rooting for you.
