I agree that it is probably good to have a rec writer who know the PNM, and that it is good to have more than one rec at SEC schools, so it would be better to get both in that case.
However, JaimeNicole went to Maryland and is from Maryland, so a good deal of her contacts are going to be from a very different campus culture than this SEC school. Would it be better to have 2 recs from up women up North who know the PNM well, or 2 recs from strangers in the SEC?
Let's assume she's aiming for 2 recs per chapter, and there are two women up North who know this PNM well. Which scenario is better:
1. Should the southern AP only be used to "fill in the gaps" where contacts can not be found through one's own network? This would mean that the PNM would only use the recs from the women up North.
2. Or should there definitely at least one rec writer from the same school (or similar campus culture) regardless of how many northern contacts this PNM has?
This would mean the PNM would get one from each, or both northern contacts, plus a southern rec from a local AP.
