Congratulations to your friend. My understanding is at W&L references are appreciated but not required. I know we send about 7 references a year from Dallas to W&L but it is my understanding that expectations vary from region to region. If they get a lady going through from say Dallas or Houston, 2 areas I'm familiar with, and they don't get a bells and whistles reference, they are suspicious as to why they don't have it. However, another young lady from "off" or "from the North" as we say down here may get a pass because where she comes from it is not the norm. Someone from W&L has much more knowledge than me but that is what I have heard from our members. I guess what I am trying to say is they are much more open to women without references than some schools but it is not a bad idea.
