sophomore transfer, poc, any chance?

Top tier your chances are slim to none unless you're a hispanic who looks white. The lighter your skin and the more eurocentric your features look the better off you'll be.

Mid tier: you should be fine if you act like everyone else

Bottom tier: you'll get a bid

I know a little bit about how you feel. I rushed as a transfer second year. The main think I wished I'd been told was to keep my mind open and to be kind and opposed to judgmental. I was lucky that I kept going back to one sorority that I thought of as a "safety." and it turned out I needed them when they were the only house who wanted to pref me. I am glad I gave them a shot and have enjoyed being in a sorority. However, if I hadn't let my snobby and preconceived opinions go, I would have stayed bitter and sad. I know it's hard to believe but so much of recruitment is about numbers, and the numbers just are not on a second or third-year's side. There are very few spots for those girls so be open-minded and keep your options open. Then you will avoid the needless drama I subjected myself to. I hope you will go through rush and make the experience a positive one by focusing on the groups that want you! Welcome to UVA!

YES! Top tiers in general you just have to know too many people so transfers usually have low chances (you aren't missing much here imo some of these people can be the worst), but middle tiers will love to have you
