Hi everyone! So I've been reading this site pretty heavily the past few days, trying to get more information about what to expect during rush this fall, and I'm both very excited and nervous about it!
I do have a few questions though...as the title of this post suggests, I am a sophomore at the University of Florida, I am a biology major, and I currently have a 3.3 cumulative GPA. I am not sure if this is competitive or not, and would definitely appreciate input on this. My GPA out of high school was significantly higher, and I have high SAT scores as well...but does any of that matter anymore? I was involved in several organizations this past year, and I am taking 2 classes and engaging in volunteer work this summer.
My main question is, if I do well in my summer classes, my GPA will be raised...so should I wait to register for recruitment after I receive my grades? The recruitment deadline is August 17th, and classes end August 5th.
And in terms of letters of recommendation, can I have those sent out at any point this summer, or do I have to wait until after I am formally registered?
I'm sure you've seen these questions in some form before, I'm just so nervous as is, any feedback (about general rush advice as well) would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
