I hope the girls believe what we heard at parent orientation - trust the process.
I have a ? about my 2nd daughter who will be applying to USC this fall. Should we start hitting the pavement for rec letters this spring, if she decides to attend
? My current USC daughter had 2, and I was told she should have had one for every house. "It is common knowledge that SEC schools have highly competitive recruitments." Oh well...
Best wishes to all!

On GC, we recommend that women attending SEC schools try to find at least one rec to each chapter. Some chapters require it based on their membership selection. Others like them so they can get to know the PNM better in a sea of 1000+ women. Starting in the spring would be great. Even if she doesn't go to USC, she could start to gather letters. They don't hurt at just about any campus. As we are not in the membership selection, we cannot say the weight of the letters, but in the collective experience of members of the forum, we believe that they are important and are more than a comfort blanket.
Good luck to your daughter in recruitment and good luck to your other daughter for her senior year. Lastly, you've almost made it! Good luck to you!
