Many of the houses that I like and see myself being in have a minumum of 2.8, so thats alright. But one specific house that is pretty much my first choice requires a 3.0 as a sophomore.
Would it be possible for me to miraculously get a bid from that house at all, despite the fact that I'd be 0.1 under their cut-off? I plan to get recs , and I'm cool with one girl who is already in that house, if that helps. I've heard stories of girls who didn't make grades and still got bids so i'm not sure. Also, I don't know if it will help or hurt , but the NPC houses at my school are predominantly white but I'm a minority (I just don't want to be in an NPHC house b/c at my school they're really small and lame)

I can't decide whether the attitude is "I'm trying to be cool and act like I don't care," or if you're really the person I envision walking into recruitment and rolling her eyes behind girls' backs.
You're rushing as a sophomore, which at some schools isn't a huge deal. Bit you say your school is competitive. What about you makes you stand out? What are you phenomenal at? Just being cool with one girl probably won't cut it .
We'll all say basically the same thing: You'll never know unless you try, it's possible, etc. Just realize that it will be difficult as a sophomore with lower than desired grades and a less than delightful demeanor.
