Informal Recruitment or Formal Recruitment? Hmm...

[AZTheta]

We know it is killing you to have to sit out this semester, tigergirl14. It's just hard for us to tell you what to do or what is better for you, because of so many variables. I would like you to focus on getting the very best GPA you can this semester, and on involving yourself in some activities that will not only keep you busy but will help you have something to talk about (when you do go through recruitment) besides how you didn't get to start at LSU as you originally planned.

And on the off chance that you don't get to transfer mid-year, you'll have more things going on to keep you engaged until you do get to transfer.

I think this is the best possible advice. Regardless of whether you decide to go through formal or informal, coming in with the highest GPA you possibly can, and with some organization and community involvement under your belt, will give you the greatest chances of landing a bid. (That is, short of doing some genealogy work and discovering that you're actually related to a founder or something.)

You will make the informal/formal decision later, and all the attention you give it now is not going to make the opportunity come any sooner. This is something that you can focus on right now that will have a positive impact. Future you will be cursing present you if you don't have a good transfer GPA by the end of your stint in CC.
