I'm not rethinking rushing, but I want to know if my fear is valid or just a waste of time.
Although it may not matter, but I am also a minority student. PHA at my school, as I imagine it would be at most has a very small number of minorities, I'm wondering if that could be a helping/harming factor as well, even though everyone says it's "all" based on personality.

It really depends on your school. At some schools, sophomores have just about the same chances as freshmen and get bids regularly. At others, they get cut heavily and have a hard time.
Generally speaking, it's worth a shot. Worst case scenario: you don't get a bid. At least you tried.
