Ole Miss Sorority Recruitment GPA: SOS!!!

[mlk2389]

Hello everyone! I will be a freshman at Ole Miss this fall, and I am considering participating in sorority recruitment. I recently graduated from a very large high school in Texas, and as rush registration has just opened up, I would like to pose a few questions that I have in regards to recruitment. I am well aware that Ole Miss Sorority chapters tend to be highly selective when choosing their new members during rush, and due to the overwhelmingly large number of girls who participate in recruitment each fall, initial cuts based on GPA alone are a necessary part of the process. While Ole Miss follows a 4.0 grading scale, the high school I attended follows a 5.0 scale. I followed a very dedicated AP course load all throughout my 4 years, and as a result, my unweighted GPA (#out of 4.0, AP classes are weighed the same as on-level courses) is less than stellar in comparison to my weighted GPA of 4.0 out of 5.0, which takes into account the rigor of my courses, and is much more forgiving to slightly lower grades in AP classes. I understand that for the sake of keeping the recruitment process simple and organized, most universities disregard the weighted GPA system in favor of a universal 4.0 scale that does not discriminate based on academic rigor, but rather just numbers alone. After months of researching, it is still unclear to me as to whether or not Sororities at Ole Miss take high school course rigor into account when evaluating a PNM, therefore I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would be willing to inform me about how that works. Thank you very much, and Go Rebs!!!
