Out-of-state makes it harder to get a bid?

Imagine a chapter with 200-300 women, like at Auburn and Alabama. If everyone knows and is pulling for one or two PNMs (with some overlap naturally), plus legacies, there are a lot of PNMs that the chapter DOES want. If this is a chapter that has to make steep cuts after the first round, who are they going to keep? Out of state girls can be successful, as evidenced by the number of out of state women receiving bids, but you've got to get those recs in and get them in early.
