Ohio University?

OU is not as competitive as MU. I would say that recruitment is similar to Ohio State; competitive for the "top" houses, but everyone can get a bid if they keep their options open.

The big difference with OU (comparred to most Ohio schools) is that recruitment is still in the fall. This makes it tough for out of state freshman because they know so few people.

I'm sure if you secure her recs prior to recruitment, she will be fine.

one more thing- it is not uncommon for sophomores to rush- and get bids.

Do you think recs will be important? Recs were useful but not essential at Miami, so I assumed OU would be similar. She's an ADPi legacy, but her other legacy chapter isn't at OU.

Recs were not big at OU. We occasionally got one for a legacy or close relative, but the vast majority won't have them. So, they don't hurt, but they are not a necessity.

Also, we had alot of out of state people come through rush, so being from out of state isn't a big deal, either. In fact, we used to joke that maryland/DC was part of Ohio because of all the people from that area that come to Athens for college.
