[AuburnMom2008]

I spent five days last week helping my daughter's sorority at Auburn. I agree with the poster (don't remember if it was this thread or one of the other like threads) who said that this year's PMN pool was very strong. My daughter was very excited about their new pledge class. She also said that this year's PMNs had very high GPAs/ACT scores (I guess compared to previous years), so the competition was stiff.

As to recs, I actually did hear of a PMN who came to AU with No recs, was not a legacy, but who actually did receive a bid. So while recs are very, very important, it's apparently not always a deal killer not to have them.
