Should I Rush Again?

[Alumiyum]

Your chances depend on the campus, how many girls go through, whether you improve upon the things you pointed out, etc. But don't worry about your chances. Just worry about putting your best foot forward, and unless you'll be utterly devastated to be dropped, by all means try again. The next time around you'll be more prepared. Spend the next few months working on your conversation skills by talking to people you wouldn't normally talk to during class or at parties. Consider joining a club on campus as a way to both become active and to get you more at ease in a room full of strangers. As for wardrobe options, being under-dressed can definitely be a problem, especially on campuses where PNMs tend to dress a little on the formal side. But you've got plenty of time before fall to try on outfits and slowly build a wardrobe of clothing that you feel comfortable and confident in with pieces that would be appropriate at your school's recruitment. Consider any mixing and matching with the clothes that you already have and like to create different outfits...you might find you have more to work with than you think. Aside from dressing appropriately for the occasion, another way to stand out positively is to be confident...be well groomed, and wear make up and a hairstyle that you feel cute in. Confidence is always a positive trait but it is especially important in situations like recruitment where so many PNMs in the room feel too shy to really stand out.

And of course, keep your GPA up. Of course you have to have the required GPA to have a chance at a bid, but having something more impressive will obviously be yet another way to stand out from the pack. You've got plenty of time to prepare and it sounds like you've got a great grip on ways you can have a more successful recruitment the next time around. Good luck!
