Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she types from her phone a lot.
OP, while it's true you are direct-admit to the vet school, you probably don't want to mention that unless you are speaking with someone who has a similar major or is in a similar situation.
I'm guessing you had to take a lot of Ag classes last year—are you friends with any sorority girls from your dorm or high school? Make sure they know NOW that you'll be rushing. Aside from recommendations and GPA (which will mostly just help you with the first round or so of cuts), knowing girls will help you the most. Just don't take it personally if you know several girls in a house you are released from—there hasn't been an upperclass/sophomore quota for the past few years, and as far as I know there won't be this year.
Get your recommendations in order, especially if you are coming from out-of-state.
In the past few years (I'm alumna now, but I've been on all three sides of recruitment at Mizzou—pnm, active, and alum) EVERY house has taken a sophomore. True, some take more than others, but you just have to be even more outstanding compared to the others.
You may be asked why you didn't rush your freshman year. You may be asked if you would be willing to live in the house as a junior or senior (keep in mind most chapters at Mizzou have a 1-2 year live-in requirement, and there may not be room for you to move in right away).
Be wary of Mizzou lurkers on this board. They typically don't post, but are out in full force.
Feel free to PM me if you have any more specific questions.
