What makes a certain university a "competitive" school to rush at?

I agree with everything that has been said here, but I'm wondering, what exactly is the #1 most competitive recruitment? Indiana? Alabama? Arkansas? Ole Miss? Texas? UGA? They're all tough, and so are a bunch of other schools.

I almost feel like trying to rank the competitiveness of recruitments is similar to tiering chapters on a single campus. Even if you're at what is traditionally considered a non-competitive campus, you still have that whole "I hope they like me" thing going on. That's nerve wracking no matter where you are. Certainly, it's more intense at certain places, but it's still there.

To the OP, try not to worry about things like this so much. Enjoy your recruitment. The best thing you can do is to enjoy your conversations and be the best you can be.
