Not buying this.

If your grandfather was the president of the university and and your father was a star football player and you are so well-connected, why do you need to come to the internet to ask for reassurance and advice?

Most of the women who are well-connected as you say you are, don't even NEED outside advice because they are aware of (and their family members are aware of) the types of grades they will need in order to get a bid.

If you ARE indeed who you say you are, don't expect it to carry you in recruitment. There are plenty of well-connected Alabama girls who end up with undesireable results (esp. those with mediocre grades). That's just the way it is.

Get recs, study hard, and don't bank on your famous family name to get you a bid.

Good luck.
