Given a cute girl with high grades, lots of activities, community service and recs(along with 1200 other girls that are cute with high grades.......etc.), will they cut her solely because she is from out of state?

NO, but they will pick someone they know from home over someone unknown from out of state. It 's not really even intentional, but it is easy to relate (not the right word) to someone when you recognize her school name or the summer camp she went to was the same one you went to, etc. All comments above about the out of state pnm needing to stand out are right.
My advice to anyone going out of state - whether the rush is competitive or not - is always, always, always get recs. Recs cannot hurt and the more alum endorsements and letters an out of stater can have, IMO, the better. At the very least, this makes the chapter say, "Wow, we have a ton of correspondence on this pnm from Timbuktu. Let's get to know her."
