<p>I’m a transfer from a community college looking to go to Auburn as my first choice. Getting into Auburn isn’t my concern, but i would like to know what my chances are at getting a large scholarship to finish out my education. Also, I know it sounds lame, but I want to rush (as a transferring junior). I have a couple of members in my family who have previously been in a top tier sorority (and 2 current members). I’m really debating going into a christian sorority on campus, but would really love to continue the family line in the specific “family” top tier sorority. My only concern with rushing is I would hate to not receive a bid from any of the sororities that I’m looking at (and yes I know you’re supposed to keep an “open mind”, but I’d rather not be the family joke.) And is there a sorority specifically for pharm or med students? Can someone inform me on how competitive it really is both on the transferring scholarship level and in the rushing aspect?</p>

<p>GPA: 3.9
ACT: 26
Major: Chemistry, looking to go into pre-pharm
Collegiate achievements (not including shadowing and community service):
-freshman year: chair of the fright fest committee, member of campus activity board, member of RHA, SGA senator, inducted into Phi Theta Kappa honor society.
-sophomore year: SGA treasurer, Phi Theta Kappa Vice-President, campus ambassador, member of RHA, plus a couple of other clubs that are less important. </p>

<p>Thanks and War Eagle!</p>

<p>You can see a number of the General scholarships listed on the scholarship page - see if any of those fit any of those parameters…a large number of them require financial need as well. They are quite niche and who knows you might fit one of them. </p>

<p>Sorry, can’t help you with the Greek questions, perhaps someone else will respond.</p>

<p>Does Auburn have any transfer scholarships of any good-size amounts? </p>

<p>I’d call Financial Aid/Scholarship office - I can’t see where it really identifies any specific awards.</p>

<p>If you are transferring in as a junior, you will have a hard time going through sorority recruitment as typically most groups do not take a lot of upper classman. When I was an active, we did pledge usually 1-2 juniors each year - but that was out of a pledge class of 50. And being an upper classman, if you want to pledge a group, you really need to go in with an open mind - my understanding is that there is really not as much of a tier system at Auburn as there might have been when your parents were there. </p>
