I guess for those who live in the places that are considered competitive and who went to these schools, we see the difference. I live in Alabama. I went to Alabama. I advise at a school that is NOT Alabama. Every woman at this school who meets the GPA requirement and is not a "no" rec can get a bid and will get a bid if she stays till the end.
She need not secure recs either. So I consider this school non competitive....unlike Alabama just a few miles down the road.
Alabama's wonderful Greek Chic publication has been delayed and will be published online next week!
In other news there have been reports that record breaking numbers of PNMs are expected to be registered at some super competitive schools by their respective deadlines.
So PNMs make sure you are registered for Recruitment in a timely fashion and get your Recs in!
