University of Iowa Recruitment

[scrapcat]

My daughter was just initiated into her sorority at Iowa just last week. Rush is far more competitive than we had thought. The ladies who posted previously have wonderful words of wisdom! We got a few letters of rec for my daughter. She was still cut heavily after the second round. Be prepared! Rush was spread over two weeks so it seemed to go forever! It was a crazy, emotional roller coaster. But the end was really worth it! Good luck!

She falls above 3.0 minimum by her HS schools GPA. 4.3 versus 4.0 I think but hits at 2.98 by Iowa official translation. Tough for her as she is dyslexic but took a hard course load of AP and honors coursework at a private academically rigorous college prep school. She will be a BFA in dance major where I expect she will excel grade wise. Any idea if anything other than official Iowa report is used to eval for grades?

Thanks! Just trying to prepare her for the cuts I know will be forthcoming. She has an excellent résumé (lots of volunteer work, taught in a girls school in India for the summer, accomplished dancer with awards, team captain, etc) as well as recs for each house from people who know her well which were sent with official transcript.
