I agree with the concept of giving recruitment a chance, no matter where you are from. Yes, at many schools, especially UT, being from out of state can be a disadvantage, but not an insurmountable one.

The young woman I wrote a rec for from my state (Midwest) who just finished recruitment at UT, did receive a bid. She was cut from my house, but got her first choice because she kept her options open along the way.

Could this have been the problem with your daughter? Did she get her heart set on one house and did not give consideration to others?

I think we must encourage girls to go through recruitment but also let them know the reality of what they are doing. I believe GC does a very good job of being honest and open about recruitment when they advise others.
