What exactly is a no rec? I heard the term before but aren't clear on what they are. Is it just saying "I would highly recommend that you not bid this person" or is it "You can not bid this person" if you get one?

Perfect timing. Just had a conversation with another GCer this morning about this very thing (a "no rec" recommendation).

I understand it to mean that in the section for comments, a statement to the effect that "I do not recommend this PNM for membership" is entered. Possibly other recommendation forms contain a box that can be checked off to indicate that you are not recommending the PNM. It would probably vary from chapter to chapter.

And... that's all I know!

The former.

When I write them (and I've only done 3 or 4 in 25 years of doing them), it means you better not even invite her back much less pledge her and if you want to know why, have your adviser call me!
