I didn’t have the chance to rush previously because I went to a two year school. Now I have decided it was time to get my Bachelor’s and have been accepted to my school of choice. I am essentially a junior, but I am also in my early 30’s. My best friend, who is also my age, is attending a different school this fall. She basically has the same story, except her younger sister is an alumna of one group on her campus.

My school is super small, my best guess on quota is somewhere around 14-18 based on the numbers from the last 5 years. Her’s has 7 NPC orgs to choose from, with the average quota being in the 40’s.

Without giving the schools away, I know it’s difficult, but we are both wondering if we actually stand a chance? Would recs help or would alums look at us like we are crazy since we might be older than the alum writing the Rec?
