Standing out as a Sophomore

[equinerider26]

I guess I should say that I have guaranteed admission into vet school; that would be more accurate.

But other than finding recommendations (which I am currently working heartily on), do you all have any other advice on how to be more appealing to sororities as an older student?

PMing strangers on the internet for help in finding local alumnae is not "working heartily" (particularly without any prior interactions with said stranger, and without giving any indication that you put forth effort on your own to find alumnae)

Wince. Truer words were never spoken.

ellebud's advice was dead-on. At this point, I'd work on developing conversation skills that don't include anything about veterinary school or horses.

Yes, I did PM a few women who mentioned that they would be willing to help PNMs find local recommendations. I am also talking to friends, parents of friends, co-workers, and family friends as well. I simply figured that I would open as many doors to help with recruitment as possible.

And thank you annabella for your help.
