Another Junior...

[Hopefulpledge]

Well, I've followed advice from threads like this before, like making sure that my gpa's strong, and joining other activities to make myself more well rounded... I was just wondering if there was anything that I was potentially missing. I sincerely apologize if I've offended you, or anyone here; it certainly wasn't my intention. I know it's very difficult to get a bid as a junior, so I just want to give myself the best chance I can possibly get, so if I don't get a bid, I can look back on the experience without regrets and know I gave it my absolute best shot.

I just wanted to have all my bases covered, and to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Again, I apologize if I've caused any offense.

It's not a matter of offense. It's that no one here knows you, the campus, etc. No one has a crystal ball. Because every campus and chapter is different than the others, there are no hard and fast rules about class standing (and everything else). It's all relative. Yes, it may be less likely to get a bid as a junior, but we don't know.

The only thing I can suggest is to be in the present. Enjoy yourself. There are no guarantees anywhere.

I know you're being sincere, but this literally made me LOL! The thought popped into my head "Oh no! She figured it out! We're purposely holding out on the uber-secret key advice that any upperclassman needs to get a bid on any campus!"
