(Thank you to someone here on the board again for one of them.) In the end my daughter had two houses, one with and one without a rec. They are both "top tier" houses. She wound up pledging the house where she didn't have a rec. One house with a rec dropped her at 5 party (10/8/5/2), one she didn't prefer and ranked them at the bottome after first round. Did the recs help? For one house that she preffed yes, they "knew" about her coming in. The other house? One girl knew her already and that helped, but it didn't get her the bid.

As always, you don't know for sure she didn't have a rec - I get networked into writing recs for girls who may not know I am writing one. Happens all the time - but either way, I'm so happy she ended up with a happy enging!
