Hi everyone! kcmom my daughter is a junior as well and I remember that crazy 2014 recruitment. It was stressful for me too (more than I expected), even though I'd been through rush before! I'm sure your oldest daughter will give her sister some good advice, having been through recruitment. The sense of rejection is surprising to a lot of the girls, and really hard to take as their first experience of college. Please remind your daughter that everyone will be going through that in one way or another. With the way recruitment is designed now, the houses that have historically had the strongest recruitments are forced to make a lot of cuts early on in the process. My daughter was very lucky to end up in her first choice house, but she was cut by many houses that she really liked along the way, and it hurt. She should prepare herself to be cut from some houses she likes each round, take it one day at a time, and keep an open mind. We will look forward to hearing how it goes for her!
