I am also getting very excited about recruitment for my daughter - not too far away!

According to the Director of GL, there are currently 2,002 women signed up as of today. Wow.

You have no idea of how hard I am fighting the temptation to insert some "there goes the Tide" joke....

Feeling very frustrated at the moment - a friend of a friend contacted me this morning and asked me to write a rec for her daughter who wants to go through recruitment at Bama this year. No resume, no photos, only two other recs lined up. On paper, she would be a great pmn but has she missed the boat?

Maybe not if she keeps an open mind. The vast majority of PNMs receive bids at Bama. She'll likely not have lots of options, but the numbers show that most people make it. She has to go in with realistic expectations, however.

This is the second last minute pnm I've dealt with this year, both going to SEC schools. I hate that their lack of preparation could (and probably will) limit their choices. Good life lesson for them.

We seem to be having a LOT of them this year at Alabama.

What I hate is when you learn of a colleague's or friend's relative going through rush at a highly competitive school and you offer a rec....And they say "no thanks, we aren't bothering with those, they said she doesn't need them" or "thanks, she's not looking at KD, all her friends are Kappas" true stories. Face Palm. Good Luck with that.

Oh, so true! So many of my friends are hearing this from moms of PNMs! Here was the crown jewel that someone heard last week: "We aren't bothering with getting recs to ABC, they were awful at our twins' campus and I'm sure they're the same at our youngest daughter's school."

And these are the same mothers who rant about how their special snowflake was the victim of computer malfunction/jealousy/you name it and didn't get into the "best" chapter. *geez*
