No I think you miss her point. As a mom, I totally :get it:.
You get ready to send your child off to college. You want them to have a full and rewarding college life, COMPLETE with good grades.
Every HS senior *should* have a short list of colleges that offer what they are looking for...it should not be *just one* college. After you get accepted to your two or three or four (I had four). You decided based on all you are looking for in your college experience.
The Ole' Miss mess does not offer this as it is presented to me. A late recruitment, coupled with Homecoming and being *NEW* to college would spell disaster for an average freshman....it could spell grades that are not so wonderful. Sophomores new to the other side of the door, it could be even WORSE, because the additional expectations of entertaining "guests" during that time, selection sessions that can go in to the wee hours, homecoming competitions, grades, midterms.....I would be unable to think!
KNOWING this scenerio could exist at Ole Miss but not a Univ of Podunk, and they both offer my daughter's desired program and greek life....Podunk would be my mother-offers-her-advice choice.
