I was helping a Sophomore girl at UA find some recs for recruitment this year and am curious to get your opinion on her situation.

She is a beautiful girl with a stellar high school resume (4.0 unweighted GPA, first in her class, very involved in all kinds of leadership, athletic, good ACT score), but did not get involved her Freshman year at UA and has below a 3.0 college GPA. He resume is basically what you would expect from an incoming student except she added the one line about her college GPA but put it in between her high school information.

My daughter went through recruitment last year as a Freshman at another competitive SEC school very successfully and has loved every second of her sorority life, but since it wasn't at Bama, I didn't know what advice to give her this girl except enjoy the experience, visit each house with an open mind, be yourself, and know that there will be cuts, but it only takes one bid. I was honest that I felt that she could have a tough time because it is harder as a Sophomore, but anything is possible.

I do know that we don't talk about specific recruitment practices, but in general when you are already a college student going through recruitment, do they really care about what you did in high school or are they more concerned about what you have done since you became a UA student?
