Recruitment at Mizzou

[tds81510]

My daughter is preparing for recruitment at Mizzou in August. She will be a legacy to two different houses. She has recs and letters of support to every house except 3 (all new houses and don't know anyone who is a alumni at these houses).

She is out of state and was a direct admit to Journalism School and has very high test scores but she went to 3 different high schools and had a horrid year grade wise one year (moved in the middle of the year). She also received a large scholarship to Mizzou! Even with that GPA....

She graduated from an extremely tough prep school (top 50-100 in the country) and her GPA does not correlate with a student from a large public high school (had to take Calculus A/B, Physics I and II, Latin, two other languages, etc. and curriculum was all Honors and no AP offered)...She ended up being a class officer, yearbook editor, varsity swimmer, orchestra etc.

I am soooo worried about her GPA since I keep reading that she will be cut since her GPA is no where near 3.6........

She is not worried, as she feels that whatever happens will happen but I am the one worried as I don't want her crushed on Day 2-3 if she gets cut cause of grades (irregardless of her obvious brain power!!!)

She tells me it doesn't matter but I know she will be so sad---even though she told me she would go again her 2nd year after she has a 4.0.

Suggestions??? Her rec's all discuss the difficulty of the school and her having to go to multiple high schools etc.

Worried Mom!
