I started this as a post on the UA thread, but didn't want to hijack a happy occasion for so many people.
This is simply a question of curiosity. When people talk about receiving a bid from UA being harder for out-of-state girls, is this because they are not from Alabama or because it is presumed they know fewer girls in houses? I understand we don't know why individual girls were dropped, but what is the general feeling behind this?
I am wondering because I have heard this about several schools (non-insert-state-here-girls have a harder time getting a bid). Would going to an in-state school but not knowing girls in the houses be close to the same "disadvantage" (if you assumed there is one) as being from out-of-state? Or is this totally relative to each school/ chapter?
