rush

We would get along very well

EVERYONE thinks they go to a very challenging high school. And lots of them have above a 3.46.

That's why ACT scores are more important than grades, and why my house pays more attention to them.

I am a potential PNM and I have a decent GPA of 3.5. I worked my butt off for my grades. I was diagnosed with a learning disorder and tried to take the ACT multiple times, but could never finish. My score was not good. Should I not go through rush because of this? Will I be cut from all houses because of my ACT score?

what was your act score

It was 22

As I'm sure you know, students with legit learning problems can take the ACT with a special proctor and have more time to complete it. All it takes is a letter to the ACT board from the person who has diagnosed the learning disability. I would take it again.

I understand that, but I took it 5 times. I couldn't understand why I couldn't finish and why I was having such a hard time! I was just recently diagnosed. I don't know if it's worth it to take it now.

I hope you don't think I am being rude or insulting. I'm just trying to be helpful. I think sorority life is the last thing you should be thinking about. If studying does not come easily to you and you had to "work your butt off" to get a 3.5 in high school, and if you couldn't even finish the ACT, I think you should have other priorities. You can't imagine what it is like sitting in a lecture hall of hundreds of people trying to grasp the most important elements of a topic when you can barely see or hear the lecturer. Then you get into smaller lab sessions with grad students who have never taught before. Some of them are great and others barely speak English. And then you have all of 45 minutes to finish just one or two mid-terms and a final that constitute your entire grade. And those are the freshman classes that everyone must take before even taking one more interesting class in your major. Why don't you see how the education part of college goes first and then rush as a sophomore if you have really gotten a handle on things. If you rush as a sophomore you won't have to worry about ACT's anyway, just your freshman GPA.

I don't think you're being rude and I appreciate your opinion. I will definitely think about what you said. Now that I know what my learning disability is, I think I have a better handle on what I need to do to succeed. Thank you.
