Thank you, Sciencewoman. You make some very good points. She was not allowed to go through formal recruitment in the fall due to her sport. This was the biggest school that she was given an offer too. She thought she liked the school at the time she was recruited for her sport and may still stay but is exploring her options. I think her educational program at the other school is better overall but it won't hurt her too much to stay where she is if she prefers.
I completely agree on the transfer affiliation. Very risky based on what I've read on this forum. She can't accept any COBs (even if offered) due to her coach so next fall will probably be the first time she will have a chance to go through recruitment.
One last question. She has an acquaintance that she went to high school with who is the current VP of Membership at a sorority at the new school. Do you think my daughter could or should ask her out for lunch or dinner over break and ask her about general recruiting standards (at least as much as the VP can share) and what she can do to give herself the best chance? Is that too forward or awkward?
Thank you again for your thoughts.
