Maybe I am a "in the minority mom" but I know recruitment for my kid is going to be tough as nails and I remind her of that every single time it comes up in conversation. I am even getting sick of hearing myself say "open mind." My daughter is concerned because she believes she offers plenty; strong resume, good people skills, in great shape, long hair, pretty girl, 4.0, strong charity work and guess what...she is just like 60% of all the other girls in this southern town university campus. Her recruitment will not just be tough, but brutal, and I refuse to handicap her by making her believe "she has this". Do I think she has a good shot? Sure...IF she keeps an open mind and does not drink the "top tier" kool-aid.
