I highly recommend tempering expectations in the household. Otherwise, it could be a big let down tonight. If the heavy contact comes in, good for your daughter - that’s awesome! If it doesn’t, tell her not to be discouraged. This can be a game of patience and endurance. Your daughter should keep reaching out to her top schools after September 1 and continue to sell herself. Good luck - exciting times!!!
It's not just top recruits that get contacted at midnight. My daughter was not a top recruit and was contacted at midnight by a few schools - some top 20 schools. She also received many emails. Everyone's process is different. Don't compare your daughter to anyone else. The best advise I received was "don't talk about it" - i talked to 2 people only that were going through the same process and that was it. Best of luck to the 24's.
