What exactly is the typical, "skinny" college freshman?
I sincerely hope you haven't shared these sentiments with your daughter.
Yes, weight and appearance do matter at many chapters at many schools, but the last thing a nervous PNM needs is for her mother to tell her that she may not receive a bid because of her appearance. Talk about a self fulfilling prophecy.
I doubt that she did. After all, how many moms want to blast their daughter away with, "Okay, Lardo, I doubt you'll get a bid,"? If the daughter is overweight, they both know it.
It seems like Mom just wants to share her nervousness with others who have been there and that's okay. No need to jump on her for something she probably didn't do.
