There have been some really good ideas thrown out here. Some more realistic than others, and as with everything else, it varies by campus.
I just don't see how SO many women can be cut so early. In my experience, it just seems that everything is TOO quick. I know that when we went into selection meetings, my sisters would be raving about a girl, but half of us didn't have a clue who she was...and our quota was only about 15!!!
Kudos to those who mentioned more education about NATIONAL organizations. While XYZ might not be really strong/or 'top tier' at your school, PNM's need to understand that there is more than college. I know that when I COB'd (as a junior) I didn't have a clue how grand the big picture was behind my GLO.
I think there are many small things that can be done to alleviate this problem...primarily for those PNM's willing to maximize their options.
