Am I wasting my time?

Am I correct, then, in assuming that women who don't manage to secure recommendations to ALL chapters have less of a chance than those who secure one to each chapter (even though they have recommendations to at least half of the chapters)?

It's math. You don't know which chapters will cut you or why, but if the first cut chapters make is "girls without recs" you're out of half of them immediately. Getting recs for every chapter puts you on even footing with all of them and maximizes your chances.

Not getting recs doesn't mean you won't get a bid, (nor does getting recs guarantee you a bid) but it's all about giving yourself the best chance with every chapter that you can.

Please, PNMs, kindly use the search function. Read the stickied threads in the Recruitment forum. We are not meanies. We want you to succeed, or maximize your opportunities and chances for success during recruitment. That's why there is so much information already published/written.

Virtually everything you need to know is in the stickied threads or can be learned through a search. Honest. We aren't hiding any information.

Regarding chances and recommendations: there are multiple variables that enter into each individual PNM's recruitment experience. There's no hard and fast rule. I am not at liberty to discuss membership selection, and I daresay no other GLO members are going to do so.

Assumptions can be dangerous. However, should you be entering recruitment at a previously-identified "recommendations definitely needed" campus, then do the legwork and obtain as many recommendations as you possibly can.

ETA: I agree with everything Drolefille just wrote ^^^
