I've waited to wade in on this discussion and wanted to allow others to give you their wisdom first. At Ole Miss a few, and it's a very few, select grade risk PNMs will get bids. Partly this is because not very many grade risks attend Ole Miss in the first place and then it's because even fewer participate in Recruitment. The ones that place are given bids for being extremely special in some way. There was a notable grade risk last year who got a bid that no one in their right mind would turn down just because of her special legacy status. That sort of thing gives a lot of false hope.

Everyone here, and I do mean everyone, will be pulling for you to find a home if you do this, but we are all cringing a little because we have mopped up oceans of tears in the past with PNMs just like you. Many of us are battle tested Officers or Chapter Advisors. If you do this you must go into this with a mind completely open to any Ole Miss Chapter. And you should know that you could be dropped completely before any round until you receive Pref invites. The grade competition between the Ole Miss Chapters is fierce and to bring on a grade risk is taking the chance that if the PNM cannot carry the minimum grades in university classes that that PNM will dilute the GPA of one of their straight A star members that keep the Chapter at the top of the competition. If they are afraid you will bring them down you will be cut whether your member friend is pulling for you or not. Every PNM is carefully selected with great hopes and expectations of maintaining standards or even improving upon past expectations. Your transcript speaks volumes, but doesn't paint a complete picture of you. You may need to wait, we think you do, but the choice is yours. We send you our best wishes what ever you choose, texasgal25.
