Luckily, I ended up at a school where this is pretty much the case - no recs or legwork required. The groups don't ask for resumes or anything, and really, cuts are based on GPA, personality and any sort of glaring "my reputation precedes me" (positive or negative) situation.
This makes more sense to me. I don't understand how having a rec written by someone that doesn't even know you could be very helpful anyway. But I do understand in the South, any rec is better than no rec.
