General Recruitment Question
Hi all, I have been following GC for quite some time now but finally decided to register for an account. I am going to be going through sorority recruitment this fall at a Big 10 school as a transfer student, but I am a little unsure of what year in school I should put down on my recruitment application. I graduated high school in June 2010, and started college in August 2010, so I will be entering what is technically my junior year. However, at my new school, the University considers me a "senior" because I have over 90 credits (due to IB Credits from high school and 2 full summers of classes in college). In transferring to my new school, however, I still have quite a few requirements in order to satisfy the Gen Ed program of my new college (classes that all incoming freshmen take), and I am pursuing a double major that requires quite a few more classes. After meeting with an advisor, we mapped out a plan in which I realized I will need 3 more years to complete the degrees I want. So in 2015, after 5 years of undergraduate, I will hopefully graduate with 2 bachelor's degrees.
My question is, what year should I say I am on my application? Should I put down that I am a junior, which is technically the year I am in college? Should I say senior because the university classifies me as a senior? Or should I say sophomore because I have 3 years left?
I know age plays a large factor in recruitment so I was wondering how I should clarify this on an application, and during recruitment. I want to be nothing but truthful and forthright in this process.
Thank you so much for your input! I apologize for the length of this post!
