Plus, a lot of these Southern rushes some GCers like to treat as if they're the best thing since sliced bread are extremely cutthroat for out-of-region girls.

This I definitely agree with. I recommend for everyone that you shouldn't have a dream school before you get in -- let's face it, the whole college application is so very arbitrary. You can love a school on paper and hate it when you get there. You can fall in love with a school and not get in. Feel free to collect information before April, but try not to get too set on any one school before that.
I visited Macalester in February of my senior year, after I'd gotten in (there, and at all the other schools I'd applied to). I'd already kind of decided on Minnesota, but when I visited Macalester I loved it. Unfortunately, as it worked out, I chose not to go there because I would go thousands of dollars in debt -- so I'm glad that I hadn't visited it early, fallen in love with it, spent several months of it being my "dream school" and then realizing that it wasn't practical for me to go there. I know somebody else who had the same thing happen to her (with Hampshire). Wait until you get in before you start making major decisions, kids!
And don't even get me started on the Southern rush worship . . . LOL.
