Schools where you absolutely positively need recs

Let's start the list. I'll compile on this first post by continuously editing. Carnation, could you sticky this?

You Must Have Recs If You Are Attending Any Of These Schools:
All SEC schools (no exceptions!): Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss, Miss State, Arkansas, Vandy, LSU, Texas A&M
Big XII: Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Missouri, Texas Christian
ACC: Florida State, Clemson
Pac 10: USC, Arizona
Southern Methodist
Southern Miss


Up for Debate:
Big XII: Nebraska, Kansas State, Iowa State
ACC: UVA, NC State, Wake Forest, UNC
Pac 10: University of Washington, UCLA, Cal, Arizona State
Big 10: Northwestern
UCF
Depauw
Washington & Lee
Indiana--not a must have but a good idea

If your school is on the "up for debate" list, you should probably get them anyway, they're just not as critically important as the ones in the first list.

Would Clemson, UVA, or FSU be considered? Any other ACC schools?

Definitely not Penn State. That would just be too weird.

Also it may be helpful here to link this thread to the one about how to secure recs, because that will most certainly be the next question on the PNMs minds.

I'd say FSU, yes. UVA, not necessary but wouldn't hurt. I think it's becoming more necessary at Clemson.

Texas Schools:
UT, A&M, Tech and Baylor (covered in your Big XII category)
TCU and SMU

Will let others comment on other Texas schools as I am less familiar with their recruitments.

Clemson's Panhellenic site has a page about recs. I would assume they are something that a lot of girls will have.

It's my impression that recs are extremely helpful at the University of Washington. (Though maybe not absolutely necessary.) Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
