i was a grade risk!

I was PC16 and had a 2.9 HS GPA....not great but extenuating circumstances. I had recs to all but one house, OOR, good resume, good looks and very social. I went 16-4-3-2 and 3 I had after IWTs I ranked bottom. It was rough! After lots of private tears and phone calls with my mom, I decided to keep going. It was hard because everyone around me seemed to have so many parties and I had so few. I even thought of dropping once (pity party for myself) but I kept on and really focused on the houses I had left. I ignored the chatter and tent talk as much as I could and really began to love 2 of the 3 houses I had for sisterhood. One dropped me for pref so I had an easy decision with one house I loved and one I wasn’t feeling. I got the house I loved and after being in it 2 years I cannot imagine being anywhere else! So the moral of the story is expect deep cuts in the beginning (especiallly with higher grade expectations now), shed your tears and keep going! Move on from the houses that dropped you and focus on the ones you still have. Be positive, be open minded and be your best. Good luck ladies!
