It's not unusual for a girl entering her senior year to already be filling out the recruitment application (at least a) year in advance?

I mean... it's one thing to be mindful of it, or check it out so you know what to do, but... campuses accept applications that far in advance? I mean, at this point, she probably hasn't received an acceptance letter to whatever college she intends to go to yet.

Getting recs together I understand (although obviously you'd want to KNOW what school you're going to, first), but... filling out the application?

You have lots of time to find alumnae in random places. Try school, church, if you have a part time job, where you volunteer.

Include any part-time or summer jobs on your resume. Include your volunteering, and include your hobbies. The more personal a rec-writer can make it, the better.

Also, long-term activities look infinitely better than short-term, unless it's like Habitat for Humanity or a mission trip.

You can't do one year of sorority unless you're planning on terminating your membership.

That's more than I had, to be honest. How much your activities matter will depend on the college you go to and the campus culture. On my campus, it's great if a girl is in a bunch of clubs, even better if she's president of an honor society, but a short list of activities is no deal breaker with a good GPA and other qualities. And of course on competitive campuses it matters a great deal. It's good to be planning ahead, but make sure you focus more on your senior year than your freshman year of college, at least for now.

^^^I did not take it that she was filling out her application, but instead, was putting together her resume that is attached to recs and is the basis for the material she puts on her application.
